Gary Klaff

Gary Klaff serves as a procurement professional responsible for managing a diverse portfolio of non-defense informational and administrative services acquisitions. He plays a critical role in advancing the agency’s mission by overseeing the acquisition of consulting, data services, and market research solutions that support operational efficiency and strategic decision-making. His work centers on competitive solicitation processes under FAR Part 15, with a strong emphasis on performance-based contracting and outcome-driven requirements. Klaff routinely handles complex service-based procurements requiring detailed statement of work development, source selection evaluation, and contract administration, ensuring alignment with federal acquisition best practices. His contractor relationships span a broad spectrum of service providers, with consistent engagement with firms specializing in management consulting, marketing research, and digital infrastructure services. While no single vendor dominates his award profile, he maintains a balanced approach, fostering competition among both large and small businesses. His procurement patterns reflect a preference for established service providers with proven capabilities in data analytics, public opinion research, and cloud-based computing platforms, often requiring security compliance and scalable service delivery models. Klaff’s contracting activity demonstrates a pronounced preference for unrestricted competitions, with 96.2% of awards issued without set-asides. However, he maintains a measurable commitment to small business participation, with nearly 4% of awards directed toward Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate but measured approach to socioeconomic contracting, prioritizing competition while ensuring opportunities for qualified small businesses when market conditions support it. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 519130 (Other Activities Related to Advertising), 541611 (Management Consulting Services), and 541910 (Marketing Research), indicating deep expertise in behavioral data collection, strategic advisory services, and digital information platforms. He regularly procures analytical tools, survey design services, and cloud-hosted data processing solutions, demonstrating technical fluency in information systems and evidence-based policy support.
