Brian Kehoe

Brian Kehoe serves as a Senior Contracting Officer responsible for managing complex acquisition programs centered on scientific research and engineering services. In this capacity, he ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while advancing mission-critical procurement objectives through strategic sourcing, competitive bidding, and contract administration. His portfolio primarily encompasses full lifecycle contracting for research and development initiatives, technical engineering support, and analytical services requiring high levels of technical oversight and risk mitigation. Kehoe plays a pivotal role in aligning acquisition strategies with federal science and technology priorities, ensuring timely delivery of capabilities that support national innovation goals. Kehoe maintains a broad and diverse contractor base, engaging with both large prime contractors and specialized small businesses capable of delivering high-complexity technical solutions. While no single vendor dominates his award portfolio, he consistently fosters relationships with firms possessing proven expertise in physical sciences, engineering design, and laboratory support services. His contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, rigorous technical evaluations, and clear statement of work development to ensure accountability and deliverable quality across all contract types. Kehoe’s procurement patterns reflect a strong preference for unrestricted, open competition, with 100% of his awards issued under non-set-aside authorities. This reflects a strategic focus on maximizing competition and technical capability rather than socioeconomic set-asides, though he remains compliant with all applicable small business regulations. His approach prioritizes merit-based selection, ensuring the best-value solutions are procured without artificial market segmentation. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541712 (Research and Development in the Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences) and 541330 (Engineering Services), where he acquires advanced technical services including experimental design, systems engineering, prototype development, and analytical modeling. Kehoe’s expertise spans multidisciplinary scientific domains, requiring deep familiarity with technical specifications, compliance with laboratory standards, and evaluation of proprietary methodologies in competitive proposals.
