Raab’s contracting activity is exclusively non-set-aside, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. While he does not prioritize socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs, his focus remains on securing mission-critical capabilities through competitive, merit-based selection processes that prioritize technical excellence and industrial capacity. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541930 (Translation and Interpretation Services), reflecting a need for multilingual technical documentation and field support, followed by NAICS 336992 (Military Armored Vehicle Manufacturing) and NAICS 541990 (Other Professional Services).
