Brandon Cipolla

Brandon F. Cipolla serves as a Contract Administrator 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 FAR regulations and promoting efficient, transparent procurement practices. His portfolio primarily encompasses services and specialized manufacturing contracts, with a focus on security systems, environmental consulting, and industrial equipment. Cipolla works closely with program managers and technical evaluators to align contracting strategies with mission objectives, ensuring that procurements are competitively sourced and legally sound. While specific contractor names are not available, Cipolla maintains consistent engagement with a diverse pool of vendors, including both large primes and small businesses, particularly in the security services and environmental consulting sectors. His working relationships reflect a preference for established contractors with proven technical capabilities and strong past performance records. He actively facilitates collaboration between contracting teams and technical stakeholders to ensure deliverables meet operational standards and regulatory requirements. Cipolla demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with 84.6% of his acquisitions conducted under full and open competition and 15.4% structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. This pattern reflects a deliberate balance between maximizing competition and supporting small business participation, though he does not currently prioritize specific set-aside programs such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB. His approach emphasizes accessibility for small businesses while maintaining rigorous evaluation standards. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 561621 (Security Systems Services) and 541620 (Environmental Consulting Services), each accounting for 16.7% of his activity, followed by manufacturing categories including 336212 (Truck Trailer Manufacturing) and 238220 (Plumbing, Heating, and Air-Conditioning Contractors). This indicates expertise in procuring specialized technical services and industrial equipment, with a clear emphasis on infrastructure support and operational safety systems.
