Pheta Morris

Pheta Morris serves as a key procurement lead within USAID/Liberia, responsible for managing technical assistance contracts that advance the agency’s mission of sustainable development and institutional capacity building. Focused on long-term strategic support, Morris oversees the acquisition of professional consulting services designed to strengthen public health systems, improve governance structures, and promote economic resilience across Liberia. Their procurement portfolio centers on expert-led interventions, including program design, monitoring and evaluation, and technical advisory services, ensuring alignment with U.S. foreign assistance priorities and local stakeholder needs. Morris collaborates with a diverse range of international and local professional service providers, including firms specializing in public health policy, institutional strengthening, and development economics. While no single contractor dominates the award landscape, the contracting pattern reflects a preference for experienced, mission-aligned consultants with demonstrated expertise in post-conflict development contexts. Relationships are built on performance-based outcomes, rigorous evaluation criteria, and adherence to USAID’s compliance and transparency standards. Morris maintains a strong commitment to open competition, with 100% of procurements designated as “No Set-Aside,” reflecting a focus on technical merit and capability over socioeconomic preferences. This approach prioritizes the selection of the most qualified providers to deliver high-impact development results, consistent with USAID’s global standards for evidence-based programming and accountability. The primary procurement focus is on NAICS 541990—All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services—encompassing strategic planning, capacity building, and technical advisory services. Secondary support services under NAICS 561990 include logistics coordination and administrative support for field operations. Morris’s expertise lies in procuring complex, knowledge-intensive services that require deep contextual understanding of Liberian institutions and development challenges, ensuring that contracting outcomes directly contribute to sustainable, locally-led progress.
