Anduin R. Jaster

Anduin R. Jaster serves as a Purchasing Agent responsible for managing the acquisition of specialized technical services and industrial equipment to support critical operational needs. In this role, he ensures compliance with federal procurement regulations while facilitating timely and cost-effective contract awards. His portfolio primarily encompasses engineering, geospatial, and industrial control systems procurement, aligning with the agency’s mission to maintain high-performance infrastructure and technical capabilities. Jaster handles a mix of sealed bids, competitive proposals, and simplified acquisitions under the FAR, with a strong emphasis on technical specificity and vendor performance evaluation. While no specific contractor relationships are currently identifiable in the data, Jaster’s procurement patterns suggest consistent engagement with firms specializing in precision instrumentation, geophysical surveying, and specialty trade contracting. His working relationships reflect a preference for vendors with demonstrated technical expertise in industrial process control, electronic component manufacturing, and infrastructure installation services. He maintains a vendor engagement model centered on competitive fairness, technical compliance, and performance-based outcomes rather than sole-source reliance. Jaster demonstrates a clear preference for open competition, with 85.7% of his awards issued under the “No Set-Aside” category, indicating a focus on technical merit and market-wide competition. However, he actively supports small business participation, with 14.3% of awards designated as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a balanced approach—prioritizing broad market access while ensuring meaningful opportunities for qualified small businesses without mandating specific socioeconomic categories such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541360 (Geophysical Surveying and Mapping Services) and 334513 (Industrial Process Measurement Instruments), each accounting for 28.6% of his activity. He also regularly procures services under 238990 (Other Specialty Trade Contractors) and 238220 (Plumbing, Heating, and Air-Conditioning Contractors), alongside 334419 (Other Electronic Component Manufacturing). This underscores his technical expertise in geospatial data collection, industrial automation systems, and integrated building systems procurement.
