Christina Taylor

Christina E. Taylor serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of complex procurement actions, from requirement validation and market research to contract award and administration. She plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations while advancing mission-critical supply chain objectives. Her acquisitions primarily involve industrial components and engineered hardware, with a strong emphasis on precision manufacturing and fluid systems. Taylor works closely with technical stakeholders to define performance-based specifications and ensures contracts align with agency operational needs, frequently handling competitive sealed bids and simplified acquisitions under FAR Part 13. While no specific contractor relationships are identifiable from available data, Taylor’s procurement patterns indicate consistent engagement with manufacturers specializing in industrial valves, fluid power components, and engine parts. Her contracting approach favors established suppliers with proven technical capabilities in metal fabrication and mechanical systems, often selecting vendors with ISO-certified quality management systems and ASME compliance. She maintains a vendor ecosystem characterized by repeat business with reliable, technically proficient contractors capable of meeting stringent engineering specifications. Taylor’s contracting portfolio reflects a strong preference for open competition, with 95.2% of awards issued without set-aside designations. Only 4.8% of her actions are structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, indicating a deliberate focus on technical merit and industrial capacity over socioeconomic categorization. Though small business participation is not a primary driver, she remains compliant with all applicable socioeconomic requirements and leverages small business resources when technical requirements align with their capabilities. Her primary procurement focus lies within NAICS 332911 (Industrial Valve Manufacturing), followed by 336310 (Motor Vehicle Gasoline Engine and Engine Parts Manufacturing) and 332912 (Fluid Power Valve and Hose Fitting Manufacturing). She specializes in procuring high-integrity metal valves, piping systems, and precision engine components used in demanding industrial and transportation applications, demonstrating deep familiarity with material specifications, pressure ratings, and ASME B16 standards.
