Natasa Pavlov

Natasa Pavlov serves as a Human Resources Assistant at the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) in Serbia, supporting the agency’s mission to enhance public sector capacity and governance alignment with European Union standards. In her role, she provides critical administrative and operational support to HR-related procurement activities, facilitating the acquisition of professional services that strengthen institutional frameworks, public service delivery, and civic engagement initiatives. Her responsibilities include coordinating contract documentation, managing vendor communications, and ensuring compliance with USAID’s procedural and regulatory requirements for technical assistance engagements. She primarily supports the procurement of advisory services aimed at improving transparency, institutional efficiency, and data-driven policy formulation within Serbia’s public administration. While no specific contractor relationships are currently documented in the system, Pavlov collaborates with a broad network of professional service providers—including consulting firms, policy analysts, and technical advisors—specializing in public sector reform, governance, and institutional capacity building. Her working patterns reflect a preference for experienced, mission-aligned vendors capable of delivering high-quality, context-specific advisory services tailored to Serbia’s reform agenda. She maintains consistent coordination with USAID’s contracting officers to ensure alignment with program objectives and compliance with federal acquisition regulations. Pavlov’s procurement activities reflect a clear preference for open, unrestricted competition, with 100% of acquisitions categorized as “No Set-Aside.” This indicates a focus on selecting the most qualified providers based on technical merit rather than socioeconomic designations, though she remains attentive to small business participation where it aligns with program needs and competitive bidding outcomes. Her primary procurement focus lies within NAICS 541990—All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services—encompassing strategic advisory services, institutional diagnostics, training design, and public administration reform support. She routinely facilitates contracts for expert consultants in democratic governance, public procurement modernization, and civil society engagement, demonstrating deep familiarity with the technical domains critical to USAID’s mission in Serbia.
