Agustin Delgado

Agustin Delgado serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from requirements definition and market research through solicitation, evaluation, award, and contract administration. He plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and promoting transparency, competition, and fiscal responsibility within his procurement portfolio. Delgado typically handles complex, high-technical acquisitions involving specialized equipment, research services, and educational support solutions, often requiring coordination with technical stakeholders and legal counsel to meet mission-critical needs. While no specific contractor relationships are currently identifiable in the data, Delgado engages with a diverse pool of vendors, including both large primes and small businesses, fostering competitive environments that align with socioeconomic goals and technical requirements. His contracting patterns reflect a balanced approach—prioritizing open competition while actively supporting small business participation through targeted set-asides. He maintains professional, arms-length relationships with vendors, ensuring integrity and adherence to ethical procurement standards. Delgado demonstrates a strong commitment to small business utilization, with approximately one-third of his acquisitions structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to expand market access for small businesses without relying on other socioeconomic programs such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB. His consistent use of non-set-aside competitions (66.7%) indicates a preference for broad competition when market conditions permit, while still prioritizing small business inclusion where appropriate. His procurement focus is concentrated in three specialized NAICS categories: 611310 for higher education services, 336413 for aircraft component manufacturing, and 334516 for analytical laboratory instrumentation. These domains require deep technical understanding of scientific, aerospace, and academic procurement environments. Delgado’s expertise lies in navigating the unique regulatory and performance standards of these industries, ensuring acquisitions support innovation, safety, and educational outcomes.
