Chris Sooksawat

Chris Sooksawat serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from requirements definition through contract award and administration. In this role, he ensures compliance with federal procurement regulations, including the FAR and agency-specific policies, while supporting mission-critical infrastructure and technical services. His portfolio primarily encompasses construction, manufacturing, and transportation support contracts, with a focus on delivering timely, compliant, and cost-effective solutions that align with operational needs. He works closely with program managers, technical evaluators, and legal advisors to structure solicitations that promote competition and accountability. While specific contractor relationships are not currently identifiable in the data, Chris engages with a diverse range of vendors across multiple industrial sectors, including general contractors, specialty manufacturers, and logistics support providers. His procurement approach emphasizes competitive bidding, clear performance metrics, and contract performance monitoring to ensure deliverables meet technical and schedule requirements. He maintains a neutral stance toward vendor size or status, prioritizing capability, past performance, and compliance over preferential treatment. Chris demonstrates a strong preference for unrestricted acquisitions, with 100% of his awards issued under the “No Set-Aside” category. This reflects a strategic focus on maximizing competition and selecting the most qualified offerors regardless of socioeconomic designation, rather than targeting specific small business programs such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB. His contracting patterns prioritize efficiency and broad market access, aligning with agency-wide goals for open and transparent procurement. His primary NAICS focus areas include residential and commercial building construction (236118 and 236220), where he procures renovation, new build, and facility modernization services. He also regularly engages with manufacturers in metal container production (332439) and precision instrumentation for electrical measurement (334515), as well as rail transportation support services (488210). This diverse technical portfolio underscores his expertise in complex, multi-disciplinary acquisitions requiring rigorous specification development and performance-based contracting methodologies.
