Adam Surkin

Adam Surkin serves as a Contract Specialist within the W7NH Uspfo Activity MS ARNG under the Department of the Army, where he manages the acquisition lifecycle for mission-critical services supporting Mississippi National Guard readiness. His responsibilities include planning, soliciting, awarding, and administering contracts for training support, facility enhancements, and operational infrastructure, ensuring alignment with Army regulatory frameworks and strategic readiness goals. Surkin specializes in non-defense industrial acquisitions, focusing on services that directly enable soldier development, logistical sustainment, and installation operations across key training sites. Surkin maintains consistent working relationships with a focused group of contractors, including Leaps Training LLC, Spotting Lies, Inc., and the Department of Rehabilitation Services, which provide specialized instructional, behavioral assessment, and rehabilitation support services. His procurement patterns reflect a preference for established vendors with proven expertise in military training environments and adaptive service delivery models. These partnerships are typically structured through competitive sealed bidding or simplified acquisition procedures, emphasizing performance-based outcomes and compliance with federal contract standards. Surkin demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with nearly half of his awards structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. While no set-aside preferences such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB dominate his portfolio, his consistent use of small business set-asides signals a deliberate strategy to foster economic opportunity and vendor diversity within the civilian contractor base supporting military readiness. His primary procurement focus centers on NAICS 721110 (hotels and motels), reflecting the acquisition of lodging services for transient personnel and training attendees, followed by NAICS 334220 for communications equipment and NAICS 561720 for janitorial and facility maintenance services. He also procures specialized manufacturing services under NAICS 337215 for storage and organizational fixtures. This blend of hospitality, light manufacturing, and facility support services underscores his technical expertise in sustaining non-combat operational environments through integrated, mission-aligned acquisitions.
