Joey Klinger

Joey Klinger serves as a Contracting Officer responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from requirements validation and market research through solicitation, evaluation, award, and contract administration. In this role, Klinger ensures compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and supports the agency’s mission by delivering essential services through transparent, competitive procurement processes. Their portfolio primarily consists of service-based contracts requiring specialized expertise in education and recreational programming, with a focus on ensuring timely, cost-effective, and high-quality deliverables aligned with federal objectives. Klinger maintains professional relationships with a diverse range of vendors, including language training providers, cultural and recreational program operators, and educational service contractors. While no single contractor dominates the award landscape, Klinger consistently engages with firms possessing demonstrated capability in curriculum development, immersive language instruction, and community-based recreation services. The contracting approach emphasizes open competition, fair evaluation criteria, and performance-based outcomes, fostering long-term vendor partnerships built on accountability and compliance. Klinger’s procurement strategy reflects a strong preference for unrestricted competition, with 100% of awards issued under the “No Set-Aside” category. This indicates a focus on selecting the most qualified offerors regardless of socioeconomic status, while still adhering to all statutory requirements for small business consideration. Although no specific set-asides are utilized, Klinger ensures all solicitations are structured to allow eligible small businesses to compete fairly and transparently. The primary NAICS codes guiding Klinger’s acquisitions are 611630 (Language Schools) and 713990 (All Other Amusement and Recreation Industries). This specialization reflects a consistent demand for language instruction services, cultural exchange programs, and non-traditional educational or recreational activities. Klinger’s expertise lies in evaluating technical proposals related to pedagogical methodologies, program scalability, facility management, and participant engagement strategies, ensuring that contracted services meet both operational needs and quality benchmarks.
