Christopher B. Long

Chris Long serves as a Contractor Property Administrator, responsible for overseeing the lifecycle management of government-furnished equipment and contractor-acquired property within federal acquisition programs. In this role, he ensures compliance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 45 and Department of Defense Instruction (DoDI) 5000.64, verifying proper accountability, inventory control, and disposition of high-value assets tied to contracted systems. His work is critical to maintaining operational readiness and financial stewardship, bridging procurement execution with physical asset management to support mission-critical technology deployments. While specific contractor names are not available, Long collaborates closely with manufacturers and integrators delivering complex electrical and electronic systems, ensuring property clauses are embedded in solicitations and contracts. His working relationships are characterized by rigorous oversight of contractor property systems, requiring close coordination with program managers, logistics teams, and quality assurance personnel to enforce compliance with property accountability standards. He routinely engages with vendors during contract closeout and asset transfer phases to validate proper documentation and custody transfers. Long’s procurement patterns show a strong preference for open, unrestricted competitions, with 100% of acquisitions classified as “No Set-Aside,” indicating a focus on technical capability and performance over socioeconomic preferences. This approach suggests an emphasis on mission-critical requirements where specialized expertise outweighs small business participation targets in the acquisition strategy. His primary industry focus lies in NAICS 335999 (All Other Miscellaneous Electrical Equipment and Component Manufacturing) and 334111 (Electronic Computer Manufacturing), reflecting deep expertise in procuring advanced electrical components, embedded systems, and computer hardware for defense and federal infrastructure applications. He specializes in acquisitions involving custom circuitry, data acquisition systems, and integrated electronic assemblies, demonstrating technical fluency in hardware procurement and systems integration domains.
