Carl Silverstone

Carl Silverstone serves as a Contracting Officer responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions within the water infrastructure sector. He oversees the solicitation, evaluation, award, and administration of contracts for water supply and irrigation systems, ensuring compliance with federal procurement regulations and mission-aligned outcomes. His work supports critical public utilities and water resource management initiatives, requiring deep technical understanding of hydraulic systems, pipeline networks, and water treatment technologies. Silverstone handles both simplified acquisitions and complex sealed bids, often coordinating with engineering and program stakeholders to define performance-based requirements that drive efficiency and long-term reliability. While no specific contractor relationships are currently identifiable in the data, Silverstone engages with a broad spectrum of vendors specializing in water infrastructure, including civil engineering firms, municipal system integrators, and manufacturers of water distribution equipment. His procurement approach emphasizes competitive bidding and transparency, fostering relationships with both large-capability contractors and qualified small businesses capable of delivering specialized water system components and services. Silverstone’s contracting portfolio reflects a 100% preference for non-set-aside acquisitions, indicating a focus on full and open competition without socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs. This pattern suggests an operational priority on technical capability and cost-effectiveness over socioeconomic targeting, though he remains compliant with all statutory small business outreach and reporting requirements. His primary NAICS specialization is 221310—Water Supply and Irrigation Systems—demonstrating deep expertise in procuring infrastructure for potable water delivery, agricultural irrigation, stormwater management, and related hydraulic control systems. He routinely evaluates bids for pumps, pipelines, filtration units, SCADA integration, and maintenance services, requiring fluency in engineering specifications, ASTM standards, and EPA compliance frameworks. Silverstone’s technical acumen ensures that awarded contracts deliver resilient, sustainable water systems aligned with public health and environmental mandates.
