Christopher Hagepanos

Christopher G. Hagepanos serves as a Contracting Officer responsible for managing complex procurements across technical and administrative service domains. He plays a pivotal role in executing the agency’s acquisition strategy by ensuring compliance with federal contracting regulations, conducting market research, and issuing solicitations under FAR Part 15. His portfolio primarily involves competitive negotiated acquisitions for professional services, with a strong emphasis on ensuring transparency, fairness, and value for taxpayer dollars. He routinely handles task and delivery order contracts, indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) vehicles, and other performance-based arrangements designed to meet evolving operational needs. While specific contractor names are not available, Hagepanos maintains a balanced procurement approach that engages both large prime contractors and small business subcontractors across multiple market segments. His working relationships reflect a preference for established service providers with proven technical capabilities, particularly in health insurance administration and IT-enabled management solutions. He fosters collaborative vendor partnerships through clear performance metrics, post-award oversight, and structured debriefings to enhance accountability and continuous improvement in contract execution. Hagepanos demonstrates a strategic commitment to socioeconomic programs, with 8(a) competed set-asides accounting for 13.3% of his awards and total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5 representing 6.7%. The majority of his acquisitions—80%—are conducted without set-aside, indicating a focus on full and open competition while still intentionally promoting small business participation where appropriate. His pattern reflects a balanced adherence to federal small business goals without over-reliance on any single socioeconomic category. His primary procurement focus centers on NAICS 524114 (Direct Health and Medical Insurance Carriers), 541519 (Other Computer Related Services), and 541611 (Administrative Management Consulting), reflecting deep expertise in health plan administration, IT modernization, and operational efficiency consulting. He regularly procures cloud-based systems, data analytics platforms, and management advisory services, demonstrating specialized knowledge in health insurance infrastructure and enterprise service delivery.
