Christine Barge

Christine Barge serves as a Contracting Officer responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from requirements definition and market research through solicitation, evaluation, award, and contract administration. She plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and agency procurement policies, delivering mission-critical goods and services in a timely and cost-effective manner. Her portfolio encompasses a broad range of commercial and non-commercial contracts, including professional services, information technology support, logistics, and administrative solutions, all aligned with the agency’s operational priorities and strategic objectives. Christine maintains a diverse network of vendor partnerships, engaging with both large prime contractors and small businesses across multiple sectors. While no specific contractor relationships are identified in current data, her procurement approach reflects a preference for open competition and fair market access, fostering relationships with firms capable of delivering high-quality, scalable solutions under firm-fixed-price and cost-reimbursement contract types. She consistently prioritizes clear solicitation language, robust source selection criteria, and transparent communication to ensure equitable outcomes and minimize protest risk. Christine’s contracting patterns show a strong orientation toward open, non-set-aside acquisitions, with 100% of her awards issued without socioeconomic set-asides. This indicates a strategic focus on maximizing competition and value through unrestricted procurement, rather than targeted small business set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs. Her approach underscores a commitment to efficiency and broad market engagement, while still complying with all applicable small business goals and reporting requirements. Her technical expertise spans a wide array of procurement categories, though specific NAICS codes are not currently available. Based on typical contracting officer responsibilities, she likely handles acquisitions in areas such as professional services (541), information technology (5415), and administrative support (561). Her domain knowledge includes contract type selection, performance-based acquisition strategies, and risk mitigation in complex service environments.
