Naveen Kumar Srivastava

Naveen K. Srivastava serves as an Acquisition & Assistance Specialist at USAID/India, where he plays a pivotal role in executing the agency’s mission to advance sustainable development through strategic procurement and assistance instruments. He manages a diverse portfolio of technical assistance and service-based acquisitions aimed at strengthening public systems in health, environment, education, and climate-resilient infrastructure. His work centers on procuring professional, scientific, and technical services that support evidence-based policy development and institutional capacity building, often through non-traditional contracting mechanisms such as cooperative agreements and task orders under indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) vehicles. While no specific contractor relationships are currently identified in the data, Naveen collaborates with a broad spectrum of domestic and international firms, including engineering consultants, environmental science providers, and technical advisory firms, to deliver mission-critical solutions aligned with USAID’s development goals. His procurement approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, innovation, and local partner engagement, fostering long-term collaborations with vendors capable of delivering adaptive, context-sensitive technical support. Naveen’s contracting patterns reflect a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of his acquisitions designated as “No Set-Aside,” indicating a focus on merit-based selection rather than socioeconomic set-asides. This approach prioritizes technical capability and value over demographic-based preferences, though he remains compliant with all federal small business participation requirements. His primary NAICS focus areas include 541990 (All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services), reflecting his leadership in procuring cross-cutting advisory services, and 221111 (Hydroelectric Power Generation), underscoring his involvement in renewable energy infrastructure. Additional emphasis on 519190 (Other Information Services) and 541330 (Engineering Services) reveals deep expertise in digital platforms, data-driven decision systems, and infrastructure modernization—key pillars of USAID/India’s development strategy.
