Mimoza K�puska

Mimoza A. Kepuska serves as a Human Resources Assistant with USAID/Kosovo, supporting the agency’s mission to strengthen democratic governance and institutional accountability in the Western Balkans. In her procurement role, she facilitates the acquisition of personal services and professional technical support critical to human capital development, organizational capacity building, and public sector reform initiatives. Her responsibilities include coordinating solicitation processes, managing vendor communications, and ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations for non-construction services aligned with USAID’s technical assistance priorities. She primarily handles acquisitions related to HR consulting, administrative support, and specialized technical services that enhance the agency’s operational effectiveness. While no specific contractor relationships are currently documented, Kepuska collaborates with a broad network of professional service providers offering human resources, management consulting, and administrative support solutions. Her procurement patterns reflect a preference for experienced firms capable of delivering culturally competent, context-specific services tailored to Kosovo’s institutional environment. She works closely with program staff to define requirements and ensure vendor deliverables align with USAID’s goals in public financial management and rule of law strengthening. Kepuska’s contracting activity shows a 100% preference for non-set-aside awards, indicating a focus on open competition rather than socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs. This suggests her acquisitions prioritize technical capability and domain expertise over socioeconomic criteria, consistent with the agency’s need for specialized, mission-critical services in a complex operating environment. Her procurement focus is overwhelmingly concentrated in NAICS 812990 (All Other Personal Services), reflecting a high volume of contracts for individual consultants and specialized HR support personnel. Secondary activity in NAICS 541990 and 541611 underscores her involvement in professional consulting services, particularly in organizational development and administrative management. Her expertise lies in securing personnel and advisory services that directly support USAID’s institutional strengthening objectives in Kosovo’s public sector.
