Frank Schiavone

Frank Schiavone serves as an Operational Contract Manager responsible for executing complex acquisition strategies across technical and administrative service domains. In this role, he ensures compliance with federal procurement regulations while aligning contract awards with mission-critical operational needs. He manages a diverse portfolio of procurements, primarily centered on specialized manufacturing, technical training, and advanced system instrumentation, often coordinating with cross-functional teams to define requirements, evaluate proposals, and administer performance-based contracts. His work directly supports the agency’s mission to acquire high-integrity goods and services through transparent, competitive, and compliant processes. Schiavone cultivates strategic relationships with a range of vendors, including manufacturers of non-wood office furniture, providers of computer training services, and suppliers of aeronautical and navigation systems. While no single contractor dominates his portfolio, he consistently engages both large-capability firms and small businesses capable of delivering specialized technical solutions. His contracting approach emphasizes performance metrics, delivery timelines, and technical compliance, fostering long-term vendor partnerships built on accountability and quality assurance. His procurement patterns reflect a strong commitment to socioeconomic goals, with nearly one-third of his awards reserved for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSBs), demonstrating a deliberate effort to promote veteran entrepreneurship. The remaining two-thirds of his acquisitions are open to full and open competition, indicating a balanced approach that prioritizes both mission effectiveness and broad market participation. He actively leverages set-aside authorities to expand opportunities for qualified small businesses without compromising acquisition outcomes. Schiavone’s primary technical focus lies in three NAICS categories: office furniture manufacturing, computer training, and the production of aerospace and navigation systems. He specializes in procuring engineered products and workforce development services that support operational readiness, including ergonomic workstations, technical upskilling programs, and mission-critical instrumentation. His domain expertise spans both commercial off-the-shelf and custom-engineered solutions, requiring deep understanding of technical specifications, supply chain logistics, and performance-based contracting frameworks.
