Jason Shirazi

Jason Shirazi serves as a procurement professional responsible for managing complex acquisitions across advanced manufacturing and specialized technical domains. While his formal title and agency affiliation are not publicly designated, his contracting patterns reveal a focused role in overseeing the acquisition of mission-critical components for defense and industrial systems. He routinely handles competitive procurements under FAR Part 15, with a preference for sealed bidding and negotiated contracts involving engineering-intensive goods. His work supports national security and infrastructure modernization initiatives through the procurement of precision-engineered subsystems and specialized electronic components. His contractor relationships span a broad base of manufacturers and suppliers, with no single vendor dominating his portfolio. He engages with both large-tier industrial contractors and small businesses capable of delivering high-precision, low-volume production runs. His procurement approach emphasizes technical compliance, supply chain resilience, and performance-based outcomes, fostering partnerships with vendors holding AS9100, ISO 9001, and ITAR registrations. He consistently evaluates supplier capabilities through pre-solicitation outreach and industry days to ensure market readiness and innovation alignment. Shirazi demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with over 28% of his awards structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, and a notable 1.8% allocated to 8(a) competed contracts. While the majority of his acquisitions remain unrestricted, his deliberate use of socioeconomic set-asides reflects a strategic effort to broaden the supplier base and foster capability development among emerging manufacturers. He actively leverages small business subcontracting plans and mentor-protégé programs to enhance market access. His primary procurement focus centers on NAICS 336413 for aircraft ancillary equipment, 335999 for miscellaneous electrical components, and 325998 for specialty chemical preparations. He regularly acquires custom-fabricated metal parts, electronic subsystems, and formulated materials used in avionics, defense systems, and industrial automation, demonstrating deep familiarity with technical specifications, military standards, and supply chain traceability requirements.
