Chris Hagepanos

Chris Hagepanos serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from requirement development through contract award and administration. He plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with FAR regulations while aligning procurement activities with agency mission objectives. His portfolio primarily encompasses professional, scientific, and technical services, with a strong emphasis on information technology solutions and management consulting. Hagepanos routinely handles competitive solicitations under both full and open competition and small business set-asides, demonstrating a disciplined approach to market research, source selection, and contract performance monitoring. While specific contractor names are not available, Hagepanos maintains a balanced procurement strategy that engages both large primes and small business vendors across the professional services sector. His working relationships reflect a preference for collaborative, performance-based contracting approaches, with an emphasis on clear statement of work development and outcome-oriented deliverables. He consistently fosters vendor engagement through pre-solicitation outreach and industry days, promoting transparency and fair competition. Hagepanos demonstrates a clear preference for non-set-aside acquisitions, with 87.5% of his awards issued under full and open competition. However, he actively supports small business participation, allocating 12.5% of his contracting activity to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a measured commitment to socioeconomic goals, prioritizing small business eligibility without compromising competition or mission needs. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541511 (Custom Computer Programming Services) and 541519 (Other Computer Related Services), each accounting for 25% of his activity. He also regularly procures administrative management consulting (541611), social science and humanities research (541720), and other professional technical services (541990). This specialization underscores his expertise in acquiring mission-critical IT systems, analytical services, and operational support solutions within the federal government’s professional services landscape.
