Sandra Boulis

Sandra Boulis serves as a key procurement professional within the U.S. Agency for International Development/Egypt (USAID/Egypt), supporting the agency’s mission to advance sustainable development through strategic contracting for technical assistance and institutional capacity building. She manages a diverse portfolio of acquisitions focused on professional services that strengthen governance, economic resilience, education, and public health outcomes. Her work centers on securing expert consultants, training providers, and technical partners to design and implement development programs in alignment with USAID’s strategic priorities, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and U.S. foreign assistance objectives. While no specific contractor relationships are currently identifiable in the procurement record, Boulis engages with a broad spectrum of domestic and international service providers, including firms specializing in development consulting, adult learning design, and infrastructure support. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for performance-based, results-driven contracts that emphasize measurable outcomes and local partner engagement, fostering long-term collaboration with both U.S.-based and Egypt-localized service organizations. Boulis’s procurement activity shows a 100% preference for non-set-aside contracts, indicating a focus on open competition rather than socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs. This approach prioritizes technical merit and program alignment over socioeconomic targeting, though it does not preclude small business participation through standard competitive procedures. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541990 (All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services), reflecting a heavy reliance on multidisciplinary development consultants, followed by NAICS 611430 (Professional and Management Development Training) for workforce capacity building and NAICS 221118 (Other Electric Power Generation) for energy-related infrastructure support. These categories underscore her expertise in procuring technical services that bridge institutional gaps and promote scalable, locally owned development solutions.
