Jason Vollmer

Jason Vollmer serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from requirements development through contract award and administration. He plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with federal procurement regulations while advancing agency mission objectives through strategic sourcing. His portfolio primarily consists of complex service contracts requiring detailed statement of work development, risk mitigation, and performance-based payment structures. Vollmer routinely handles procurements involving health insurance operations and social science research services, applying sound contracting principles to ensure value, transparency, and accountability in every acquisition. Vollmer maintains professional relationships with a diverse range of vendors, including direct health and medical insurance carriers as well as research institutions specializing in social sciences and humanities. His contracting approach emphasizes competitive bidding and fair opportunity, fostering partnerships with both large-scale service providers and niche technical firms capable of delivering specialized expertise. He prioritizes clear communication, contract performance monitoring, and contractor accountability to ensure deliverables align with agency needs. Vollmer’s procurement patterns reflect a strong preference for full and open competition, with 100% of his awards issued without set-aside restrictions. While he does not currently utilize socioeconomic programs such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, his approach remains aligned with the broader goal of maximizing competition and ensuring best value through rigorous evaluation criteria. His contracting decisions are driven by technical merit, past performance, and cost-effectiveness rather than socioeconomic targeting. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 524114 (Direct Health and Medical Insurance Carriers), where he manages contracts for health plan administration, claims processing, and member services. He also frequently procures services under NAICS 541720 (Research and Development in the Social Sciences and Humanities), supporting policy analysis, behavioral studies, and program evaluation initiatives. His technical expertise spans health policy, insurance operations, and social science research methodologies, positioning him as a subject-matter expert in mission-critical service acquisitions.
