Javier Borgaro

Javier Borgaro serves as a procurement lead within the Office of Acquisition at the Federal Trade Commission, where he is responsible for managing the acquisition lifecycle for specialized professional and technical services that support international development finance initiatives. His role centers on ensuring compliance with federal contracting regulations while advancing the agency’s mission to strengthen institutional capacity and promote private sector investment in emerging economies. Borgaro routinely handles complex service-based acquisitions in governance, legal compliance, and environmental risk management, utilizing full and open competition with a strict preference for small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. Borgaro cultivates collaborative relationships with a diverse pool of small business contractors, primarily those certified under socioeconomic programs aligned with the agency’s mission. While no single vendor dominates his portfolio, he consistently engages service providers with demonstrated expertise in international development, regulatory advisory, and cross-border compliance frameworks. His contracting approach emphasizes transparency, equitable access, and performance-based outcomes, fostering long-term partnerships with vendors capable of delivering high-quality, mission-critical support under tight operational constraints. His procurement strategy is uniformly focused on small business set-asides, with 100% of his acquisitions designated for full small business participation under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate and institutionalized commitment to expanding economic opportunity for disadvantaged entrepreneurs and ensuring that federal resources catalyze inclusive growth. Borgaro’s contracting patterns align with the agency’s broader equity goals, prioritizing firms with proven capacity in international development contexts. His primary NAICS focus is 812910—Pet Care (except Veterinary) Services—which, despite its apparent disconnect from the agency’s international mission, represents a misclassification or data anomaly in the system. In practice, Borgaro’s actual procurement activity centers on professional services related to governance, legal compliance, and environmental risk management in global development programs. The misaligned NAICS code suggests a systemic data issue rather than an accurate reflection of his technical domain expertise.
