Mona Beshai

Mona Y. Beshai serves as an Acquisition Specialist at USAID/Egypt, where she plays a pivotal role in executing the agency’s mission to advance sustainable development through strategic procurement of technical and professional services. She manages the full lifecycle of acquisitions for complex development programs, focusing on design, implementation, and evaluation of initiatives in governance, economic resilience, education, and public health. Her work ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while aligning contracting decisions with USAID’s development objectives and local partnership priorities. She routinely handles competitive solicitations for consulting, engineering, and business support services, often coordinating with technical units to define performance-based requirements and evaluate vendor proposals. Mona collaborates with a diverse array of international and local service providers, including professional consulting firms, engineering consultants, and technical assistance providers with demonstrated expertise in development contexts. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for firms with proven experience in Egypt’s institutional landscape, fostering long-term partnerships that combine technical excellence with cultural and operational adaptability. She prioritizes transparent, merit-based selection processes and actively engages with vendors during pre-solicitation phases to clarify scope and enhance competition. Mona’s procurement portfolio reflects a strong emphasis on open competition, with 100% of her acquisitions conducted without set-asides, indicating a focus on selecting the most qualified providers regardless of socioeconomic status. While she does not prioritize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, her approach remains compliant with all federal socioeconomic requirements and supports broad market participation through fair and open competition. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541990 (All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services), with significant activity in 541690 (Other Scientific and Technical Consulting Services) and 541330 (Engineering Services). She routinely procures technical assistance, institutional capacity-building services, policy analysis, workforce development programs, and management consulting aligned with USAID’s strategic goals in Egypt. Her domain expertise centers on development economics, public sector reform, and cross-sectoral program integration.
