Christopher A. Bahn

Christopher A. Bahn serves as a Petty Officer responsible for executing procurement actions in support of federal operational requirements, primarily focused on specialized equipment and facility-related services. Though affiliated with a military or uniformed service component, his role involves managing the acquisition lifecycle for non-tactical, mission-enabling goods and services, ensuring compliance with FAR and agency-specific procurement policies. He typically handles simplified acquisitions and task orders under blanket purchase agreements, with an emphasis on timely delivery of critical infrastructure and maintenance support items. While no specific contractor relationships are identifiable in the available data, Bahn’s procurement patterns suggest engagement with a diverse pool of vendors, including small businesses and general contractors specializing in fabricated metal products, building equipment, and facility services. His working relationships are characterized by consistent compliance with socioeconomic goals and a preference for competitive, open-market opportunities, indicating a balanced approach between efficiency and broad vendor participation. Bahn demonstrates a clear preference for non-set-aside procurements, with 76.9% of acquisitions conducted under full and open competition. However, he actively supports small business participation, allocating 15.4% of awards to 8(a) program contractors and 7.7% to total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate commitment to fostering economic opportunity while maintaining competitive integrity in acquisition outcomes. His technical focus centers on NAICS codes 238290 (Other Building Equipment Contractors) and 332999 (Miscellaneous Fabricated Metal Products), indicating procurement of custom metal components, HVAC subsystems, and building service equipment. Additional emphasis on 337121 (Upholstered Furniture) and 561790 (Building Services) suggests procurement of interior furnishings and facility maintenance contracts. His expertise lies in acquiring durable, non-mission-critical infrastructure assets that support operational readiness and workplace functionality across federal installations.
