Meagan Schronce

Meagan Schronce serves as a key procurement professional within USAID/Georgia, supporting the agency’s mission to strengthen institutional capacity and promote sustainable economic development through strategic contracting. She manages a portfolio of technical assistance and management consulting acquisitions designed to build local governance, economic resilience, and green economy capacity. Her work centers on securing expert services that enable adaptive program implementation, performance monitoring, and stakeholder engagement with Georgian public and private sector actors. Schronce’s acquisitions are mission-driven, emphasizing locally led solutions and long-term sustainability over short-term outputs. Her contractor relationships are primarily with U.S.-based and international management consulting firms specializing in public sector reform, institutional strengthening, and economic policy analysis. She engages with a broad spectrum of service providers, including large professional services firms and mid-sized niche consultants with deep regional expertise. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, her procurement patterns reflect a preference for firms with proven experience in governance, economic transition, and donor-funded program management, ensuring alignment with USAID’s technical standards and compliance frameworks. Schronce’s contracting activity shows a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of her acquisitions classified as “No Set-Aside.” This reflects a strategic decision to prioritize technical merit and institutional capability over socioeconomic set-asides, consistent with USAID’s international development mandate and the limited availability of eligible small businesses in Georgia’s local market. Her approach prioritizes outcome-driven procurement over socioeconomic targets, while still adhering to U.S. federal acquisition regulations. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541611 (Administrative Management and General Management Consulting Services) and 541618 (Other Management Consulting Services), reflecting a heavy reliance on strategic advisory services for program design, monitoring and evaluation, and capacity-building initiatives. She regularly procures technical assistance in public financial management, anti-corruption frameworks, private sector development, and climate-resilient economic planning, demonstrating deep expertise in adaptive program management and donor-funded consulting engagements.
