Bryan Hight

Bryan A. Hight serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from requirements definition through contract award and administration. He plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) while supporting mission-critical procurement needs across technical and manufacturing domains. His portfolio primarily encompasses research and development services, motor vehicle body manufacturing, and computer facilities management, requiring deep familiarity with performance-based contracting, source selection procedures, and post-award contract management. Hight’s work ensures timely delivery of specialized goods and services aligned with agency objectives, emphasizing transparency, competition, and regulatory adherence. While specific contractor names are not available, Hight routinely engages with a diverse pool of vendors, including both large primes and small businesses, to fulfill complex technical and industrial requirements. His contracting patterns reflect a balanced approach—favoring open competition while actively facilitating small business participation through set-asides. He maintains collaborative relationships with vendors capable of delivering high-specification R&D outputs and specialized manufacturing solutions, often requiring technical evaluations and past performance assessments to ensure mission readiness. Hight demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with nearly 29% of his awards designated as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, reflecting a deliberate focus on expanding opportunities for small businesses. His set-aside preferences indicate a preference for broad small business inclusion over narrower programs like 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB, suggesting a strategy centered on maximizing competition among qualified small firms without imposing additional certification constraints. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541715 for physical and engineering research and development, followed by 336211 for motor vehicle body manufacturing and 541513 for computer facilities management. This combination reveals expertise in both technical services and industrial production, requiring proficiency in evaluating engineering capabilities, technical specifications, and IT infrastructure support. Hight’s work supports innovation-driven missions through strategically sourced, high-integrity contracts in these specialized domains.
