Brian K. Hurley

Brian K. Hurley serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from requirement 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) while advancing mission-critical procurement objectives. His portfolio primarily encompasses engineering services, electronic computer manufacturing, and commercial/institutional building construction, requiring deep technical understanding of complex systems and infrastructure projects. Hurley works closely with program managers and technical evaluators to align contracting strategies with agency needs, ensuring timely and legally sound contract execution. While specific contractor names are not available, Hurley maintains a balanced vendor ecosystem that includes both large prime contractors and small business concerns. His contracting patterns reflect a structured approach to market engagement, fostering competitive environments through open solicitations while actively promoting participation from socioeconomically disadvantaged firms. He routinely engages with vendors possessing relevant technical certifications and past performance in engineering and manufacturing domains, encouraging collaboration through clear communication and transparent evaluation criteria. Hurley demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with nearly one-third of his acquisitions structured as set-asides. His preferences include Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5 and 8(a) competed contracts, indicating a deliberate effort to expand opportunities for small disadvantaged businesses. He avoids set-asides in the majority of procurements only when full and open competition is deemed necessary to meet technical or schedule requirements, balancing socioeconomic goals with mission effectiveness. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541330 (Engineering Services), where he sources design, analysis, and systems integration support; NAICS 334111 (Electronic Computer Manufacturing), for specialized hardware and embedded systems; and NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), for facility upgrades and infrastructure development. This technical breadth underscores his expertise in managing procurements requiring interdisciplinary coordination and stringent compliance with industry standards.
