Mona A Borno

Mona A. Borno serves as an Acquisition Specialist at USAID/Haiti, where she plays a critical role in executing mission-critical procurements that support sustainable development and institutional resilience across Haiti’s public systems. Responsible for managing the full lifecycle of acquisition actions, she specializes in securing technical expertise through personal services contracts and professional consulting services aligned with USAID’s priorities in health, governance, rule of law, and economic opportunity. Her work directly enables the deployment of U.S. and third-country national experts who deliver on-the-ground capacity building and technical assistance, ensuring that procurement actions are compliant, timely, and strategically aligned with U.S. foreign assistance objectives. Mona collaborates with a diverse array of professional services firms and consulting entities, primarily engaging firms with demonstrated expertise in public sector reform, institutional strengthening, and development program implementation. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, she consistently partners with organizations possessing deep regional experience and technical proficiency in governance, elections, and infrastructure development. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, clear statement of work development, and rigorous contractor evaluation to ensure value and accountability in service delivery. Mona’s procurement patterns reflect a strong preference for open, non-set-aside competitions, with 100% of her acquisitions conducted without socioeconomic set-asides. This reflects the nature of her mission, which often requires specialized, high-skill expertise not readily available among small or disadvantaged businesses in Haiti’s local market. Her focus remains on securing the most qualified technical talent, regardless of vendor size or certification status. Her primary procurement activity centers on NAICS 541990 (All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services), encompassing a broad range of advisory, analytical, and implementation support services. She also regularly procures administrative management consulting (541611) and digital content and information services (519190), reflecting the agency’s need for integrated technical assistance, data-driven decision support, and digital governance solutions in complex operational environments.
