Capt. Collin C. Christopherson

Collin C. Christopherson serves as a Contract Manager responsible for overseeing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from requirement validation through contract award and administration. He plays a pivotal role in ensuring compliance with federal procurement regulations, particularly in the execution of competitive solicitations that align with agency mission objectives. His portfolio primarily includes professional services acquisitions, with a strong emphasis on technical consulting, educational services, and information services contracts. Christopherson works closely with program stakeholders to translate operational needs into enforceable contractual language, ensuring transparency, fairness, and regulatory adherence throughout the acquisition process. While specific contractor names are not available, Christopherson maintains a balanced procurement approach that engages a diverse pool of vendors, including small businesses, service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses, and general market firms. His contracting patterns reflect a deliberate effort to foster competition and ensure equitable access to federal opportunities, particularly for socioeconomically disadvantaged firms. He consistently prioritizes open competition while leveraging set-aside authorities to promote inclusion and innovation within the vendor community. Christopherson demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with half of his acquisitions structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, and an additional quarter reserved for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses. This pattern reflects a strategic alignment with federal goals to increase small business participation and support veteran entrepreneurship. His use of set-asides is deliberate and compliant, ensuring that contracting opportunities are accessible to eligible firms while maintaining rigorous evaluation standards. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 511210 (Software Publishers), 541690 (Other Scientific and Technical Consulting Services), and 611519 (Other Technical and Trade Schools), indicating deep expertise in technology-enabled services, professional consulting, and workforce development training. He routinely procures customized technical solutions, instructional design services, and software integration support, reflecting a specialization in knowledge-based, non-manufacturing domains critical to modern federal operations.
