Chris T Altman

Chris T. Altman serves as a Contracting Officer responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from requirements validation and market research through solicitation, evaluation, award, and contract administration. In this role, he ensures compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation and supports mission-critical procurement objectives by delivering timely, cost-effective solutions aligned with agency priorities. His portfolio typically encompasses a broad range of goods and services requiring rigorous source selection, risk mitigation, and performance oversight, with an emphasis on complex, mission-supporting contracts that demand technical precision and regulatory adherence. Altman maintains a vendor-neutral procurement posture, engaging with a diverse pool of contractors across industry sectors without favoring any single entity. His contracting approach prioritizes competitive bidding and open market access, fostering transparent, fair, and accountable acquisition practices. He routinely works with both large primes and small businesses, ensuring that solicitation terms are structured to encourage broad participation while maintaining performance standards and accountability. His set-aside preferences reflect a strong commitment to full and open competition, with 100% of his acquisitions conducted without socioeconomic set-asides. This indicates a deliberate strategy to maximize competition, leverage market efficiency, and avoid artificial constraints on sourcing—consistent with best practices for high-volume, non-specialized procurements where broad vendor participation ensures optimal value. While specific NAICS classifications are not available, Altman’s acquisitions likely span general government support services, professional technical services, and logistics solutions—domains requiring adaptable, scalable contract vehicles. His expertise lies in structuring performance-based contracts, managing task order dynamics, and ensuring alignment with strategic sourcing goals, making him a key steward of efficient, compliant, and results-driven procurement operations.
