Fang-Ting Manson

Fang-Ting G. Manson serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from requirement validation and market research to contract award and administration. She plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and supports the agency’s mission by delivering specialized industrial components and technical equipment through transparent, competitive processes. Her acquisitions primarily involve complex mechanical and electrical systems, requiring technical diligence and precise contract language to meet operational standards. While specific contractor names are not available, Manson’s procurement patterns reflect consistent engagement with manufacturers capable of meeting stringent engineering specifications for precision components. She routinely collaborates with both large-tier suppliers and small businesses possessing niche manufacturing capabilities, fostering partnerships grounded in technical compliance, quality assurance, and timely delivery. Her working relationships emphasize vendor reliability, past performance evaluation, and adherence to technical documentation requirements. Manson demonstrates a strong preference for open competition, with 83.3% of her acquisitions conducted without set-asides. However, she actively supports small business participation, allocating 16.7% of her portfolio to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a balanced approach that prioritizes competition while ensuring meaningful opportunities for qualified small manufacturers to contribute to mission-critical supply chains. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 332991 (Ball and Roller Bearing Manufacturing), which accounts for 60% of her activity, indicating deep expertise in precision mechanical components. She also regularly procures mechanical power transmission equipment (333613), auxiliary aircraft components (336413), and specialized measuring and control devices (334519). These categories reveal a technical domain specialization in industrial machinery, aerospace support systems, and instrumentation—requiring knowledge of material specifications, tolerances, and quality control protocols inherent to high-reliability manufacturing.
