Jeremy J Swistak

Jeremy J. Swistak serves as a Contracting Officer responsible for managing federal acquisitions across a diverse range of technical and operational domains. He plays a pivotal role in executing the agency’s procurement mission by ensuring compliance with FAR regulations, fostering competitive bidding, and delivering mission-critical goods and services through transparent, accountable contracting practices. His portfolio primarily includes complex procurements involving machinery, communications equipment, and specialized instructional services, often requiring technical evaluation and performance-based contract structures. Swistak is known for his methodical approach to source selection and his emphasis on fair and open competition. While specific contractor names are not available, Swistak maintains a balanced vendor ecosystem that includes both large prime contractors and small business subcontractors, with a clear preference for socioeconomic set-asides. His contracting patterns reflect a deliberate effort to engage qualified small businesses, particularly those certified under the Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) program, which accounts for one-third of his awards. He also routinely utilizes Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a strong institutional commitment to expanding economic opportunity and enhancing market access for small businesses. Swistak’s set-aside preferences reveal a strategic alignment with federal socioeconomic goals, with SDVOSB set-asides being the most prevalent, followed by general small business set-asides and an even split of non-set-aside procurements. This balanced approach ensures compliance with statutory mandates while maintaining acquisition flexibility and market responsiveness. His primary NAICS focus areas include Farm and Garden Machinery and Equipment Merchant Wholesalers (423820), Construction Machinery Manufacturing (333120), and Showcase, Partition, Shelving, and Locker Manufacturing (337215), alongside niche procurements in communications equipment (334290) and sports instruction (611620). This specialization reflects expertise in procuring durable goods and specialized services requiring technical specifications, quality assurance, and supply chain reliability.
