Abdul Qader Latifi

Abdul Qader Latifi supports the Immediate Office of the Secretary of Transportation in executing strategic procurement initiatives critical to the secure and efficient operation of federal transportation leadership. Though his formal title is not specified, his role centers on managing acquisitions that uphold the agency’s mission to modernize cybersecurity, physical security, and administrative infrastructure. He handles complex service-based contracts requiring high-level coordination, often involving consulting, operational support, and mission-critical systems integration aligned with the Secretary’s office priorities. His work ensures that procurement activities directly enable secure, technologically advanced, and compliant operations at the highest levels of the Department of Transportation. Latifi engages with a diverse range of contractors, primarily in administrative management consulting and specialized support services. While no specific vendor relationships are currently documented, his contracting patterns suggest consistent collaboration with firms capable of delivering high-integrity, policy-aligned services—ranging from strategic planning and governance support to IT infrastructure modernization. His procurement approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, risk mitigation, and compliance with federal acquisition regulations, fostering partnerships with vendors who can operate within the stringent security and confidentiality requirements of executive-level government operations. His set-aside preferences reflect a balanced commitment to socioeconomic programs, with the majority of acquisitions (66.7%) conducted as open, non-set-aside competitions, while 11.1% are designated for HUBZone and 8(a) small businesses, and an additional 11.1% reserved under total small business set-asides. This pattern demonstrates a deliberate effort to maintain competitive openness while actively promoting participation from disadvantaged and underserved small businesses, consistent with FAR objectives for equitable opportunity. Latifi’s procurement focus is heavily concentrated in NAICS 541611 (Administrative Management and General Management Consulting Services), indicating a strong emphasis on strategic advisory and operational efficiency services. Secondary categories include services for the elderly and persons with disabilities, miscellaneous ambulatory health care, and parking facility management—reflecting a broad, cross-functional portfolio that supports both administrative and mission-enabling functions within the Secretary’s headquarters. His expertise lies in integrating diverse service domains to sustain secure, high-performing federal leadership operations.
