Jamie Lewis

Jamie Lewis serves as a key procurement professional within USAID/Egypt, responsible for managing technical assistance contracts that advance the agency’s mission of sustainable development and institutional capacity building. They oversee the acquisition of professional services critical to strengthening governance, economic resilience, and public health systems in Egypt, with a focus on performance-based, results-driven contracting. Their portfolio centers on consulting and technical support services that enable local partners to implement complex development initiatives, ensuring alignment with U.S. foreign assistance priorities and compliance with federal acquisition regulations. Lewis maintains a broad network of professional service providers, engaging both international development firms and Egyptian-based technical consultants to deliver tailored program support. While no single contractor dominates their award portfolio, they consistently partner with firms possessing deep expertise in public sector reform, economic policy analysis, and education system strengthening. Their contracting approach emphasizes merit-based selection, technical merit, and local capacity building, fostering collaborative, long-term vendor relationships grounded in transparency and accountability. Lewis exhibits no preference for socioeconomic set-asides, with 100% of acquisitions awarded under open, unrestricted competition. This reflects a strategic emphasis on accessing the broadest possible pool of qualified technical experts rather than prioritizing specific socioeconomic categories. Their approach aligns with USAID’s global directive to prioritize technical excellence and program impact over mandatory set-aside mechanisms, while still ensuring fair and open competition. The majority of their procurements fall under NAICS 541618 (Other Management Consulting Services) and 541990 (All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services), reflecting a focus on strategic advisory services, monitoring and evaluation, workforce development design, and private sector engagement support. They routinely acquire expertise in institutional strengthening, policy analysis, and program implementation—domains essential to USAID/Egypt’s mission of fostering locally led, sustainable development outcomes.
