Farzad Afraziabi

Farzad Afrasiabi serves as a Contracting Officer responsible for managing the acquisition lifecycle for professional and technical services across a broad spectrum of federal requirements. In this role, he ensures compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), implements sound contracting strategies, and facilitates timely award and administration of contracts to support mission-critical operations. His portfolio primarily consists of service-based procurements requiring technical expertise, project management, and specialized training solutions, with a focus on delivering value through competitive and transparent processes. While specific contractor relationships are not publicly enumerated, Farzad consistently engages with a diverse pool of vendors, including large systems integrators, niche professional services firms, and small business contractors. His procurement approach emphasizes fair competition and performance-based contracting, fostering long-term vendor partnerships grounded in accountability, compliance, and deliverable-driven outcomes. He maintains a balanced relationship with both prime contractors and subcontractors, ensuring adherence to flow-down clauses and small business subcontracting plans where applicable. Farzad’s set-aside preferences reflect a strong alignment with broad market competition, with 95.7% of his acquisitions conducted as non-set-aside procurements under full and open competition. However, he actively supports small business participation, with 4.3% of awards designated as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. His approach demonstrates a measured commitment to socioeconomic goals, prioritizing small business inclusion where market conditions and technical requirements permit, without compromising acquisition efficiency or mission readiness. His primary procurement focus centers on NAICS 541512 (Computer Systems Design Services), reflecting deep expertise in IT infrastructure, software development, and systems integration. He also regularly procures professional training services under NAICS 611430, facility maintenance under 811219, and electrical installation services under 238210, demonstrating technical fluency across engineering, IT, and workforce development domains. His specialization lies in acquiring complex, performance-based services that require clear statement of work development and rigorous evaluation criteria.
