Anthony J. DiPlacido Jr. serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from requirements validation 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 supports the agency’s mission by delivering essential goods and services through transparent, competitive processes. His portfolio primarily encompasses procurement actions involving security systems services and specialized manufacturing, requiring a nuanced understanding of technical specifications, performance standards, and delivery timelines. DiPlacido collaborates with a diverse range of vendors, including both large prime contractors and small business subcontractors, fostering partnerships grounded in regulatory compliance and performance accountability. While specific contractor names are not publicly identifiable in this dataset, his contracting patterns indicate consistent engagement with firms capable of delivering integrated security solutions and precision-engineered gaskets, seals, and related components. He maintains a balanced approach to vendor relationships, prioritizing capability, past performance, and adherence to contractual obligations. His procurement strategy reflects a strong commitment to socioeconomic goals, with an equal split between full and open competitions and Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. This pattern demonstrates a deliberate effort to expand opportunities for small businesses without compromising acquisition efficiency or mission readiness. He does not rely on other set-aside programs such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB, indicating a focused preference for broad-based small business participation. DiPlacido’s primary NAICS focus areas—561621 for Security Systems Services and 339991 for Gasket, Packing, and Sealing Device Manufacturing—reveal deep expertise in procuring physical security infrastructure, surveillance systems, and mission-critical industrial components. His technical domain knowledge spans electronic access control, alarm monitoring, and precision-machined sealing solutions, ensuring that acquisitions meet stringent operational and safety requirements.
