Jayne M. Carbone

Jayne M. Carbone serves as Deputy Regional Contracting Officer for USAID/Egypt, overseeing the procurement of technical assistance and development services critical to the agency’s mission of advancing sustainable governance, economic resilience, and public health outcomes. In this role, she manages the full lifecycle of acquisition actions—from market research and solicitation to contract award and administration—ensuring compliance with federal regulations and USAID’s development objectives. Her portfolio primarily supports performance-based contracts for professional, scientific, and technical services that enable local capacity building and institutional strengthening across Egypt’s public and civil society sectors. While no specific contractor relationships are publicly identifiable, Carbone routinely engages a diverse range of service providers, including international consulting firms, local Egyptian implementers, and technical specialists in development fields. Her procurement approach emphasizes performance outcomes, transparency, and alignment with USAID’s strategic partnerships, fostering long-term vendor collaboration grounded in measurable impact rather than transactional delivery. Carbone’s contracting patterns reflect a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of awards issued under non-set-aside authorities. This indicates a deliberate focus on selecting the most qualified providers regardless of socioeconomic status, consistent with USAID/Egypt’s emphasis on technical merit and program effectiveness over mandated set-asides. While small business participation is not formally prioritized through 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs, she maintains compliance with all applicable socioeconomic requirements and may facilitate small business inclusion through subcontracting or teaming arrangements where appropriate. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541990 (All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services), encompassing policy analysis, institutional strengthening, and economic reform support. She also regularly procures services under NAICS 812990 (Personal Services), 237990 (Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction), and 561990 (All Other Support Services), reflecting a multidisciplinary approach to development programming that integrates technical expertise, logistics, and infrastructure support to achieve measurable development outcomes.
