Christopher Dingle

Christopher C. Dingle serves as a Contracting Officer responsible for managing complex acquisitions across a diverse range of technical and professional services. He plays a critical role in executing the agency’s procurement mission by ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations, fostering competition, and delivering mission-critical capabilities through transparent and efficient contracting processes. His portfolio primarily encompasses consulting services, information technology solutions, and aerospace component manufacturing, with a strong emphasis on performance-based contracting and sound risk management practices. While specific contractor names are not available, Dingle maintains relationships with a broad spectrum of vendors, including large primes and small businesses, particularly in management consulting and defense-related technical services. His procurement approach prioritizes competitive bidding and fair opportunity, with a preference for full and open competition under FAR Part 15. He engages contractors through indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) vehicles and task order solicitations, ensuring flexibility and responsiveness to evolving operational needs. Dingle’s set-aside preferences reflect a strong alignment with full and open competition, as 96.2% of his awards are issued without socioeconomic set-asides. Nevertheless, he consistently supports small business participation, with 3.9% of his awards designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This demonstrates a measured but deliberate commitment to small business goals without compromising mission requirements or market competitiveness. His primary procurement focus centers on NAICS 541611 (administrative and management consulting), 541519 (other computer-related services), and 336412/336413 (aircraft engine and auxiliary equipment manufacturing), with additional emphasis on professional training services under NAICS 611430. He specializes in acquiring technical advisory services, IT modernization solutions, and high-precision aerospace components, reflecting deep expertise in both defense and federal administrative domains.
