Chris Martin

Chris Martin serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from requirement validation and market research through solicitation, evaluation, award, and contract administration. He plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and supports the agency’s mission by delivering professional, scientific, and technical services that meet operational needs. His portfolio primarily includes non-construction services requiring specialized expertise, with a focus on engineering, environmental support, real estate appraisal, and broader professional services. Martin ensures acquisitions are structured to promote competition, transparency, and regulatory adherence while aligning with agency priorities. While specific contractor names are not available, Martin maintains a balanced vendor ecosystem that includes both large professional services firms and small businesses capable of delivering niche technical expertise. He engages with vendors across multiple market segments, fostering relationships with firms possessing specialized capabilities in environmental services, land use analysis, and technical consulting. His procurement approach emphasizes clear performance metrics, risk mitigation, and vendor performance tracking to ensure accountability and mission success. Martin demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with 44% of his acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to expand economic opportunity and leverage the innovation and agility of small firms. While no other socioeconomic categories are dominant, his consistent use of small business set-asides signals a proactive effort to meet federal small business contracting goals without reliance on 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB-specific programs. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541990 (All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services), 541330 (Engineering Services), and 115112 (Soil Preparation, Planting, and Cultivating), indicating deep engagement with environmental, land management, and technical consulting markets. He routinely procures services such as site assessments, land surveying, ecological consulting, and real estate valuation, demonstrating expertise in interdisciplinary technical domains that support infrastructure, environmental compliance, and land-use planning missions.
