Christian Kurpiel-Wakamiya

Christian C. Kurpiel serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from requirement validation through contract award and administration. He plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) while supporting mission-critical procurement needs across diverse technical domains. His portfolio primarily encompasses service-based contracts requiring precise specification development, competitive solicitation, and performance monitoring, with a strong emphasis on transparency and regulatory adherence. Kurpiel routinely handles complex procurements involving IT services, food manufacturing support, and logistics infrastructure, ensuring alignment with agency objectives and fiscal stewardship principles. While specific contractor names are not available, Kurpiel maintains a balanced vendor ecosystem, engaging both large-capability providers and small businesses across multiple sectors. His contracting patterns reflect a preference for open competition, with the majority of actions conducted under unrestricted solicitation. However, he actively facilitates small business participation through structured set-asides, fostering partnerships with firms capable of delivering specialized technical and operational support in his focus areas. Kurpiel demonstrates a clear commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with nearly 28% of his awards designated as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. He consistently prioritizes opportunities for small businesses without favoring specific socioeconomic categories such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB, indicating a broad-based approach to small business inclusion grounded in capability rather than certification type. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 311991 (Perishable Prepared Food Manufacturing) and 541519 (Other Computer Related Services), each representing over one-third of his activity. He also regularly procures warehousing and storage services (493190) and custom computer programming (541511), reflecting expertise in both food supply chain logistics and IT service delivery. This dual specialization underscores his ability to manage acquisitions requiring technical precision in both physical distribution and digital infrastructure domains.
