Eric Schaffstein

Eric Schaffstein serves as a Contracting Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from market research and solicitation development to contract award and administration. He plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with federal procurement regulations while supporting mission-critical services across diverse operational domains. His portfolio primarily encompasses non-defense, administrative, and support services, with a focus on achieving efficient, transparent, and legally sound contracting outcomes. Schaffstein routinely handles simplified acquisitions, blanket purchase agreements, and indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contracts, ensuring alignment with agency objectives and fiscal stewardship principles. Schaffstein maintains a broad network of vendor relationships across multiple service sectors, engaging both large and small businesses under open competition. While no single contractor dominates his award profile, he consistently works with firms capable of delivering specialized administrative, educational, and community support services. His contracting approach emphasizes competitive fairness, clear performance metrics, and contract compliance, fostering long-term vendor partnerships grounded in reliability and regulatory adherence. His procurement patterns reflect a strong preference for full and open competition, with 100% of his awards issued without set-asides, indicating a commitment to market-wide access rather than socioeconomic preference programs. This approach underscores a focus on capability and cost-effectiveness over targeted socioeconomic categories, though he remains fully compliant with all small business regulations and actively evaluates small business eligibility where applicable. Schaffstein’s primary NAICS focus areas include Educational Support Services (611710), Office Administrative Services (561110), and niche service sectors such as Religious Organizations (813110), Drycleaning and Laundry Services (812320), and Miscellaneous Health Practitioners (621399). He specializes in procuring non-clinical support functions—including facility management, administrative staffing, and community-based educational services—demonstrating deep familiarity with the operational needs of public and nonprofit service providers. His technical expertise lies in understanding service-level requirements, performance-based acquisition strategies, and the unique compliance frameworks governing non-traditional federal contractors.
