Lynne Boyce

Lynne Boyce serves as a Senior Acquisition & Assistance Specialist at USAID/Uganda, where she leads the design, solicitation, and management of complex technical assistance and service-based acquisitions aligned with the agency’s mission of building self-reliance through sustainable development. She oversees the full lifecycle of contracts and cooperative agreements supporting health systems strengthening, governance, and ecosystem management programs, with a strong emphasis on evidence-based programming and local institutional capacity building. Her work ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations and USAID’s development assistance policies, prioritizing outcomes over inputs and fostering partnerships that enhance Ugandan-led solutions. While no specific contractor data is available, Lynne collaborates with a diverse array of international and local service providers, including engineering firms, public health consultants, and technical assistance organizations. Her procurement patterns reflect a preference for performance-based, results-driven contracts that require rigorous monitoring and evaluation frameworks. She engages both U.S.-based implementers and Ugandan-led entities, promoting local ownership while ensuring alignment with U.S. government standards and donor requirements. Lynne’s contracting portfolio reflects a 100% preference for open, non-set-aside competitions, indicating a focus on competitive, merit-based selection rather than socioeconomic set-asides. This approach prioritizes technical capability and programmatic impact over socioeconomic classifications, though she remains committed to equitable access and transparency in all procurement actions. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541330 (Engineering Services) and 336211 (Motor Vehicle Body Manufacturing), reflecting a dual emphasis on infrastructure and technical systems support. She procures specialized engineering services for water, sanitation, and transportation infrastructure, alongside vehicle modifications critical to mobile health and logistics operations in remote areas. Her expertise spans technical specification development, performance metrics design, and integration of local supply chain capabilities into U.S. government-funded programs.
