Samip M Shrestha

Samip M. Shrestha supports the Departmental Operations Acquisition Division II within the Office of Procurement Operations at the Department of Homeland Security, where they play a key role in executing mission-critical acquisitions for information services and facility-related support. Their work directly enables operational readiness by securing specialized technologies and infrastructure necessary for national security and emergency response functions. Shrestha typically manages contracts for nonresidential leasing and computer-related professional services, ensuring alignment with agency priorities around logistical efficiency, public communication, and technological modernization. They operate within a structured procurement framework that emphasizes compliance, risk mitigation, and strategic vendor selection to meet evolving operational demands. Shrestha engages with a diverse range of vendors providing facility management solutions and information technology services, though no single contractor dominates their portfolio. Their contracting patterns reflect a balanced approach to vendor engagement, favoring qualified firms capable of delivering scalable, secure, and mission-aligned solutions. While no exclusive partnerships are evident, their procurement activity suggests consistent collaboration with firms experienced in federal compliance, cybersecurity readiness, and facility optimization for high-security environments. Shrestha’s contracting activity shows no use of socioeconomic set-asides, with 100% of acquisitions conducted under full and open competition. This indicates a focus on technical capability and performance outcomes over socioeconomic preferences, aligning with agency directives that prioritize mission urgency and operational continuity. While small business participation is not formally incentivized in their portfolio, the absence of set-asides does not imply exclusion—rather, it reflects a procurement strategy centered on merit-based selection and broad market competition. Their primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 531120 (Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings) and 541519 (Other Computer Related Services), reflecting expertise in securing secure, mission-supportive facilities and specialized IT services such as systems integration, data analytics, and technical consulting. This dual focus underscores a technical domain proficiency in both physical infrastructure and digital enablement, critical to sustaining DHS operational resilience.
