Jeremy Barrasso

Jeremy Barrasso serves as a procurement professional responsible for managing technical and scientific services acquisitions within a federal agency. He oversees the full lifecycle of contracting actions, from market research and solicitation development to award and performance monitoring, with a focus on engineering, technical consulting, and research services. His role is central to ensuring mission-critical capabilities are acquired in compliance with federal acquisition regulations, particularly those governing competitive procedures and socioeconomic objectives. He routinely handles complex, performance-based contracts requiring detailed statement of work development and technical evaluation panels. Barrasso maintains a broad network of vendor relationships, engaging both large prime contractors and small businesses across the scientific and technical services sectors. While no single contractor dominates his portfolio, he consistently works with firms specializing in systems engineering, applied research, and facilities support services. His contracting patterns reflect a preference for competitive, open-market solicitations, though he actively encourages small business participation through set-aside mechanisms. He collaborates with contracting specialists and technical stakeholders to ensure vendor capabilities align with mission requirements. A significant portion of his acquisitions—nearly half—are structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a strong commitment to fostering small business growth in technical fields. He does not favor specific socioeconomic categories like 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB exclusively, but rather prioritizes broad small business eligibility, enabling a diverse pool of qualified firms to compete. This approach supports agency goals for equitable access and innovation through competitive small business engagement. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541330 (Engineering Services) and 541690 (Other Scientific and Technical Consulting Services), reflecting expertise in technical advisory, systems design, and applied R&D. He also procures facilities support services and electronic computer manufacturing solutions, indicating a multidisciplinary portfolio that bridges infrastructure, technology, and scientific research domains. His work supports mission-critical functions requiring high levels of technical precision and regulatory compliance.
