Blake Tushar

Blake Tushar serves as a primary procurement contact, managing acquisitions and overseeing the contractual requirements necessary to support the agency's operational mission. The agency's procurement landscape is characterized by a strong preference for full and open competition, as the vast majority of awards are designated as No Set-Aside. There is a modest level of activity involving Total Small Business Set-Asides, with minimal participation from Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses and Women-Owned Small Businesses. The procurement focus is heavily concentrated in industrial manufacturing and specialized hardware. Primary areas of expertise include the acquisition of rubber and plastics hoses and belting, as well as miscellaneous fabricated metal products. Additionally, the portfolio includes significant requirements for gaskets, packing, sealing devices, industrial valves, and fabricated pipe and pipe fittings.
