Enrique Serna, Jr.

Enrique Serna, Jr. serves as a Contracts Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from requirements definition and market research to contract award and administration. He plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) while advancing agency mission objectives through strategic sourcing. His portfolio primarily encompasses professional services contracts, with a strong emphasis on research, analytical, and creative support functions. Serna’s work supports the execution of complex, non-construction procurements requiring specialized expertise and rigorous evaluation criteria, often involving competitive sealed bidding and negotiated acquisitions under FAR Part 15. While no specific contractor relationships are currently identifiable in the data, Serna consistently engages with a diverse pool of vendors, including both large professional services firms and small businesses capable of delivering high-quality research and design solutions. His procurement approach emphasizes transparency, fair competition, and vendor collaboration, fostering long-term partnerships with firms that demonstrate technical proficiency and performance reliability across multiple contract actions. Serna demonstrates a balanced commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with equal weighting between open competitions and Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. This pattern reflects a deliberate strategy to maximize small business participation without compromising competition or mission needs. He does not appear to prioritize other set-aside categories such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB, instead focusing on broad-based small business eligibility under the total small business set-aside framework. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541720 (Research and Development in the Social Sciences and Humanities) and NAICS 541430 (Graphic Design Services), indicating deep engagement with qualitative analysis, policy research, public communication, and visual design outputs. He regularly sources services related to survey development, data interpretation, policy evaluation, branding, and multimedia content creation—domains requiring subject matter expertise and creative problem-solving capabilities.
