Anthony Richey

Anthony E. Richey serves as a Contracting Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from requirements development through contract award and administration. He plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with federal procurement regulations while advancing mission-critical infrastructure and specialty trade services. His portfolio primarily consists of construction-related contracts under the Federal Acquisition Regulation, with a strong emphasis on small business participation and socioeconomic program goals. Richey routinely handles competitive solicitations for professional and technical services requiring detailed performance specifications and rigorous source selection procedures. Richey maintains collaborative relationships with a diverse pool of small business contractors, particularly those certified under socioeconomic programs aligned with his set-aside preferences. He actively engages with contractors specializing in commercial and institutional construction, electrical systems, plumbing, HVAC, and other specialty trade services. His procurement approach emphasizes fair competition, transparent evaluation criteria, and consistent communication with vendors throughout the acquisition process, fostering long-term partnerships grounded in regulatory compliance and performance accountability. Richey demonstrates a robust commitment to small business procurement, with 83.3% of his acquisitions structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. This consistent preference reflects a strategic focus on empowering small businesses to compete for federal contracts without requiring competition among large businesses. His contracting patterns prioritize inclusive participation, ensuring that small, minority-owned, and service-disabled veteran-owned firms have equitable access to opportunities in the construction and specialty trade sectors. His primary NAICS focus areas include 238990 (All Other Specialty Trade Contractors), 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), 238210 (Electrical Contractors), 238220 (Plumbing, Heating, and Air-Conditioning Contractors), and 511210 (Software Publishers). These reflect his technical expertise in procuring integrated construction services, building systems installation, and related information technology solutions. Richey’s domain knowledge enables him to effectively define performance requirements and evaluate technical proposals within complex, multi-trade environments.
