Gregory S. Blair

Gregory S. Blair serves as a Contract Specialist within the Preparedness SECTION (PRE20) of the Federal Emergency Management Agency, where he plays a pivotal role in executing mission-critical acquisitions that support national resilience and emergency response readiness. He manages the full lifecycle of procurement actions—from market research and solicitation development to contract award and administration—focusing on services that enhance incident management frameworks, workforce training, and operational infrastructure. His acquisitions are primarily administrative, technical, and logistical in nature, aligning closely with FEMA’s mandate to build sustainable capacity across federal, state, and local emergency response systems. While no specific contractor relationships are currently identifiable in the dataset, Blair’s procurement patterns suggest consistent engagement with consulting firms, training providers, and technology infrastructure vendors. His working relationships reflect a preference for competitively awarded contracts with a strong emphasis on performance-based outcomes and compliance with federal acquisition regulations. He collaborates with a diverse pool of vendors, including those offering strategic management consulting, data hosting services, and specialized training solutions, ensuring alignment with evolving operational needs. Blair’s contracting activity reflects a strong orientation toward open competition, with 96.3% of awards issued without set-aside designation. However, he maintains a measurable commitment to small business participation, with 3.7% of awards allocated to 8(a) competed contracts. This pattern indicates a balanced approach—prioritizing efficiency and scale while still fulfilling socioeconomic contracting goals under the Small Business Act. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541611 (Administrative Management and General Management Consulting Services), reflecting a high demand for strategic planning and organizational development support. He also frequently procures services under NAICS 721110 (Hotels and Motels), likely for emergency response staging and personnel accommodations, and NAICS 611430 (Professional and Management Development Training), underscoring his role in building workforce competency. Additional activity in computing infrastructure and irradiation apparatus manufacturing suggests niche technical support requirements tied to specialized emergency equipment and data systems.
