Sally A Fikry

Sally A. Fikry serves as a Human Resources Clerk at USAID/Egypt, supporting the agency’s mission to strengthen institutional capacity and workforce development across Egypt. In her procurement role, she facilitates administrative and operational acquisitions related to human resources services, training programs, and technical assistance for public sector workforce modernization. While not a contracting officer, she plays a critical support function in initiating, documenting, and coordinating requirements for HR-related procurements, ensuring alignment with USAID’s strategic priorities in governance and human capital development. Her work bridges program needs with acquisition processes, enabling timely delivery of personnel services and organizational development support. Sally collaborates closely with USAID’s contracting officers and program staff to define requirements for professional services supporting HR systems, organizational assessments, and capacity-building initiatives. She interfaces with a broad range of vendors, including international consulting firms and local Egyptian service providers, to ensure culturally responsive and technically sound HR solutions. Her working relationships are characterized by a focus on collaboration, compliance, and adherence to U.S. government procurement standards, particularly in the context of foreign assistance programming. Sally’s procurement activities reflect a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of her associated acquisitions classified as “No Set-Aside.” This indicates a focus on merit-based selection rather than socioeconomic set-asides, aligning with USAID’s broader strategy of leveraging global expertise for high-impact development outcomes. While small business participation is not formally prioritized in her portfolio, she ensures all solicitations comply with FAR requirements for fair and transparent competition. Her primary procurement focus is under NAICS 541990, encompassing all other professional, scientific, and technical services—particularly human resources consulting, organizational development, workforce planning, and training design. She routinely supports acquisitions for technical assistance in public sector HR modernization, leadership development, and institutional strengthening initiatives, demonstrating deep familiarity with the specialized services required to build sustainable governance capacity in complex development environments.
