Jim V Masone

Jim V. Masone serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from requirements definition through contract award and administration. He plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) while advancing agency mission objectives through transparent, competitive procurement processes. Masone typically handles a diverse portfolio of service-based and supply acquisitions, with a focus on professional, administrative, and technical support services. His work ensures timely delivery of mission-critical resources while upholding fiscal responsibility and regulatory integrity. Masone cultivates collaborative relationships with a broad spectrum of vendors, including both large primes and small business contractors, fostering competition and innovation in the marketplace. While no specific contractor names are identifiable in current records, his procurement patterns reflect consistent engagement with firms capable of delivering complex, performance-based services. He emphasizes clear solicitation language, fair evaluation criteria, and open communication to build trust and accountability across vendor relationships. A defining feature of Masone’s contracting approach is his balanced commitment to small business participation, with approximately half of his awards structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to expand economic opportunity for small businesses while maintaining a competitive acquisition environment. He does not favor specific socioeconomic categories such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB over others, instead prioritizing broad-based small business inclusion through unrestricted set-asides that maximize participation across the small business community. Though specific NAICS codes are not available, Masone’s acquisitions are predominantly centered on professional, administrative, and technical support services, suggesting expertise in areas such as management consulting, logistics coordination, and operational support. His focus is on procuring mission-enabling services rather than capital equipment, demonstrating a strong understanding of the nuances of service-based contracting and performance measurement.
