Charles Deignan

1st Lieutenant Charles Deignan serves as a contracting officer within the U.S. military’s general government support structure, responsible for managing acquisition activities that sustain essential administrative, logistical, and operational functions. His role centers on executing full lifecycle procurement processes—from market research and solicitation development to contract award and administration—ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and mission-critical requirements. He primarily handles non-defense, mission-enabling services that support the core functions of federal agencies, including program management, training, and facility support services. Deignan operates within a framework that prioritizes efficiency, transparency, and regulatory adherence, making him a key liaison between government stakeholders and external vendors delivering critical support capabilities. Deignan’s contractor relationships are broad-based and non-exclusive, with no single vendor dominating his portfolio. He engages with a diverse range of firms, from large professional services contractors to small, agile providers capable of delivering tailored administrative and operational support. His working patterns reflect a preference for competitive, open solicitations that foster innovation and value-driven outcomes, with minimal reliance on sole-source or limited-source contracting mechanisms. His set-aside preferences are uniformly non-set-aside, with 100% of his acquisitions conducted under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic emphasis on maximizing market participation and ensuring the most capable firms—regardless of socioeconomic status—are considered based on merit, past performance, and technical competency. While he does not prioritize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, his process remains inclusive and equitable, aligning with DoD and FAR guidelines for fair and open procurement. Deignan’s primary procurement focus is under NAICS 921190—Other General Government Support—which encompasses a wide array of administrative, analytical, and operational support services. He routinely acquires services such as policy analysis, personnel support, records management, and program coordination, demonstrating deep expertise in non-clinical, mission-sustaining government operations. His domain knowledge centers on optimizing internal agency functions through efficient, compliant, and scalable contracting solutions.
