Sherine B. Gerguis

Sherine B. Gerguis serves as a Contract Specialist with the U.S. Agency for International Development/Egypt (USAID/Egypt), where she plays a pivotal role in executing the agency’s development mission through strategic procurement of technical assistance and institutional capacity-building services. She manages the full lifecycle of acquisitions, from requirements determination and solicitation to contract award and administration, ensuring compliance with federal regulations and USAID’s development objectives. Her portfolio primarily supports programs in education, public health, governance, and economic resilience, with a focus on delivering sustainable, locally driven outcomes through expert-led interventions. Gerguis collaborates with a diverse range of contractors, including international development firms, local Egyptian service providers, and technical consultants specializing in social science research and education program management. She cultivates partnerships with vendors capable of delivering high-impact, evidence-based solutions, often engaging firms with deep regional expertise and demonstrated experience in complex, multi-stakeholder environments. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, rigorous monitoring, and alignment with USAID’s principles of local ownership and transparency. Her procurement patterns reflect a strong preference for open, non-set-aside competitions, with 100% of her acquisitions conducted without socioeconomic set-asides. While she does not routinely prioritize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs, her focus remains on selecting the most qualified and capable performers to deliver mission-critical services, regardless of vendor size or certification status. Gerguis’s primary acquisition focus lies in NAICS 923110 (Administration of Education Programs), followed by support services, technical consulting, and social science research (NAICS 561990, 541690, and 541720). She procures services such as curriculum design, teacher training systems, policy analysis, monitoring and evaluation frameworks, and institutional strengthening initiatives, demonstrating deep expertise in education systems development and human capital enhancement within complex international contexts.
