J.J. Kryschtal

Jerry B. Kryschtal serves as a Contracting Officer for the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID/India), where he leads the acquisition and management of professional, scientific, and technical services critical to advancing sustainable development outcomes. His role encompasses the full lifecycle of contract actions—from market research and solicitation to award and closeout—ensuring compliance with federal regulations and USAID’s mission-driven objectives. He specializes in procuring high-impact technical assistance, institutional capacity building, and evidence-based policy support across health, environment, education, and climate-resilient infrastructure programs, aligning procurement strategy with USAID’s goal of fostering locally-led innovation and long-term resilience. Mr. Kryschtal collaborates with a diverse range of vendors, including international consulting firms, domestic technical service providers, and local Indian institutions with specialized expertise in public sector modernization. His contracting patterns reflect a preference for performance-based, outcome-oriented agreements that emphasize measurable results and adaptive management. While no single contractor dominates his portfolio, he consistently engages firms with demonstrated experience in cross-cultural program implementation and technical advisory services tailored to India’s developmental context. His procurement activity is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of awards issued under unrestricted competition. This reflects a strategic emphasis on selecting the most qualified technical partners regardless of socioeconomic status, prioritizing capability and programmatic fit over socioeconomic preferences. While small business participation is not formally incentivized through set-asides, he remains attentive to equitable access and transparent competition. Mr. Kryschtal’s primary focus is NAICS 541990—All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services—encompassing a broad spectrum of technical advisory work, data analytics, policy design, monitoring and evaluation, and systems strengthening. His acquisitions routinely support climate adaptation, forest governance, pandemic preparedness, and institutional reform initiatives, requiring deep domain expertise in public sector innovation and international development practice.
