Soraya A Morillo

Soraya A. Morillo serves as Procurement Supervisor for USAID/Dominican Republic, overseeing the full lifecycle of acquisition activities that support the agency’s mission of sustainable development and institutional strengthening. In this role, she ensures compliance with federal procurement regulations while advancing technical assistance and capacity-building initiatives in public sector reform, health system resilience, and private sector engagement. Her portfolio primarily encompasses professional services contracts, including management consulting, technical advisory services, and specialized personal services critical to implementing USAID’s G2G partnerships and HIV/AIDS response programs. She works closely with program officers to translate strategic objectives into solicitation requirements and ensures alignment with U.S. government procurement standards. Morillo collaborates with a diverse array of service providers, including international consulting firms, local Dominican technical experts, and U.S.-based NGOs delivering on-the-ground implementation support. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, clear deliverables, and measurable impact, fostering long-term vendor partnerships grounded in transparency and accountability. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, she consistently engages firms with demonstrated expertise in governance, health systems, and institutional capacity development. A strong advocate for socioeconomic inclusion, Morillo directs nearly 19% of her acquisitions toward Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, reflecting a deliberate commitment to expanding opportunities for small businesses in the Dominican Republic and beyond. She prioritizes small business participation without relying on 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, aligning with USAID’s preference for broad-based economic inclusion through competitive small business contracting. Her procurement focus is concentrated in NAICS 541990 (All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services) and 812990 (All Other Personal Services), reflecting a demand for specialized technical assistance in justice sector modernization, public financial management, and community health outreach. She routinely procures services related to training, data analysis, policy design, and organizational development, demonstrating deep expertise in managing complex, results-driven service contracts in a multilateral development context.
