Ms. Salome Berishvili

Ms. Salome Berishvili serves as a key procurement professional within the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) in Georgia, where she supports the agency’s mission of strengthening institutional capacity and fostering sustainable economic development. She manages the acquisition lifecycle for technical assistance and management consulting services that enable local stakeholders to design, implement, and evaluate development programs focused on governance, economic resilience, and green transition initiatives. Her work ensures that USAID’s adaptive program management framework is operationalized through compliant, transparent, and results-driven contracting mechanisms aligned with U.S. foreign assistance priorities. Ms. Berishvili engages with a broad spectrum of international and local consulting firms specializing in public sector reform, institutional strengthening, and policy analysis. While no specific contractor relationships are currently identified in the data, her procurement pattern reflects a preference for experienced, high-capacity service providers capable of delivering complex, context-sensitive technical assistance across Georgia’s evolving development landscape. Her working relationships emphasize performance-based outcomes, rigorous monitoring and evaluation, and alignment with USAID’s principles of local ownership and sustainability. Her contracting activity is exclusively non-set-aside, reflecting a strategic focus on merit-based competition rather than socioeconomic preferences. This approach prioritizes technical excellence and programmatic impact over socioeconomic categorizations, consistent with USAID’s global procurement guidelines for international development work. While small business set-asides are not utilized, she ensures all solicitations are structured to encourage broad participation from qualified domestic and international vendors. Her primary procurement focus is on NAICS 541611—Administrative Management and General Management Consulting Services—encompassing strategic planning, organizational development, public financial management, and governance diagnostics. She routinely procures services that enhance institutional effectiveness, including capacity-building for public agencies, anti-corruption frameworks, and economic policy design, demonstrating deep expertise in adaptive program management and results-based contracting.
