Andrew Santiago

Andrew Santiago serves as Procurement Supervisor, overseeing the end-to-end acquisition lifecycle for critical operational and support services within his organization. He is responsible for planning, soliciting, evaluating, and awarding contracts in alignment with federal procurement regulations and agency mission objectives. His portfolio centers on high-volume, recurring services that ensure operational continuity, with a strong emphasis on compliance, transparency, and efficient resource allocation. He routinely manages solicitations under FAR Part 12 for commercial items and utilizes multiple award schedules, blanket purchase agreements, and indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contracts to meet dynamic agency needs. Andrew cultivates consistent, performance-based relationships with a diverse range of vendors, particularly those offering specialized services in health insurance administration, IT infrastructure, and logistics support. He engages primarily with commercial providers who demonstrate proven capability, past performance, and adherence to service-level agreements. His procurement approach prioritizes competitive bidding and value-based selection, fostering long-term vendor partnerships grounded in accountability and operational reliability. Andrew’s contracting patterns reflect a strong preference for open, non-set-aside competitions, with 100% of awards issued under general market conditions. While he does not routinely reserve contracts for 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs, his process remains fully compliant with socioeconomic goals and actively encourages small business participation through unrestricted competition and clear evaluation criteria. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 524114 (Direct Health and Medical Insurance Carriers), reflecting deep expertise in health benefits administration systems. He also regularly acquires computing infrastructure services (518210), travel management (561510), janitorial services (561720), and local freight trucking (484110), demonstrating broad operational procurement acumen across both technical and facility support domains.
