Anduin A. Jaster

Anduin A. Jaster serves as a Procurement Technician responsible for supporting the acquisition lifecycle for a diverse range of goods and services critical to operational readiness. In this role, he assists in the preparation, evaluation, and administration of solicitations, ensuring compliance with federal procurement regulations under the FAR. His work directly enables timely delivery of essential services by coordinating with program offices, reviewing technical requirements, and facilitating contract award processes. He typically handles low-to-mid complexity acquisitions across facility maintenance, laboratory equipment, and professional support services, often working within time-sensitive timelines to meet mission-critical needs. While no specific contractor relationships are currently identifiable in the data, Jaster engages with a broad spectrum of vendors, including small businesses and general contractors, to fulfill requirements in specialized technical and service domains. His procurement patterns reflect a preference for competitive sealed bidding and simplified acquisition procedures, fostering transparent and efficient vendor engagement. He maintains collaborative working relationships with contracting specialists and technical evaluators to ensure compliance and performance alignment. Jaster demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with 23.1% of his acquisitions designated as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, reflecting a deliberate effort to expand economic opportunity. His set-aside profile shows minimal use of other socioeconomic programs, indicating a focus on broad-based small business inclusion rather than targeted certifications like 8(a) or HUBZone. This pattern aligns with agency-wide goals to increase small business contracting without relying on niche set-asides. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 238220 (Plumbing, Heating, and Air-Conditioning Contractors) and 334516 (Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing), each accounting for 14.3% of his activity. He also regularly procures commercial building construction services, janitorial services, and miscellaneous ambulatory health care support. This technical breadth underscores his expertise in managing heterogeneous requirements spanning infrastructure, scientific instrumentation, and facility operations.
