Chance Caione

Chance Caione supports the Preparedness SECTION (PRE20) within the Federal Emergency Management Agency in executing strategic procurement initiatives aligned with national resilience objectives. Though formally unclassified, their role centers on managing acquisitions that bolster emergency response infrastructure, workforce readiness, and operational support systems. They handle a diverse portfolio of contracts spanning administrative services, technical training, and logistical enablement, ensuring alignment with FEMA’s mission to strengthen incident management frameworks and disaster preparedness capabilities across federal, state, and local partners. While specific contractor relationships are not publicly enumerated, Caione engages with a broad spectrum of vendors providing mission-critical services—from educational support and facility management to third-party insurance administration and specialty construction. Their contracting patterns reflect a balanced approach, fostering partnerships with both large-capacity providers and small businesses capable of delivering agile, scalable solutions in high-stakes environments. Collaboration is characterized by responsiveness to evolving operational needs and a preference for vendors with proven experience in federal emergency management ecosystems. Caione demonstrates a clear commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with approximately one-third of acquisitions structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate emphasis on expanding opportunities for small businesses, particularly those certified under standard small business programs, while the remaining two-thirds of procurements remain open to all competitors. Their approach supports broader DHS goals of inclusive economic participation without compromising mission readiness. Primary procurement activity clusters around five NAICS categories: Educational Support Services (611710), Pharmacy Benefit Management (524292), Hotels and Motels (721110), Flooring Contractors (238330), and Software Publishing (511210). These reflect a unique blend of administrative, facility, and technical services critical to sustaining emergency operations centers, training facilities, and support logistics—indicating expertise in non-traditional yet vital domains within federal preparedness contracting.
