Jonathan A. Elsasser

Jonathan A. Elsasser serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from market research and solicitation development to contract award and administration. He plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and advancing agency mission objectives through timely, transparent, and competitive procurement processes. His portfolio primarily encompasses service-based contracts and commercial item acquisitions, with a strong emphasis on security operations, technology infrastructure, and educational support services. Elsasser’s work ensures that procurement activities align with statutory requirements while fostering efficiency and accountability across the acquisition lifecycle. While specific contractor names are not available, Elsasser maintains a broad network of vendor partnerships spanning security services providers, technology wholesalers, and training organizations. His contracting patterns reflect a preference for established commercial vendors with proven delivery capabilities, alongside active engagement with small businesses that meet set-aside criteria. He routinely collaborates with contractors capable of delivering integrated solutions in physical security, audiovisual systems, and computer equipment distribution, ensuring that procurements meet operational needs while adhering to sound acquisition principles. Elsasser demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with the majority of his awards—83.3%—issued under open, non-set-aside competitions. However, he consistently prioritizes small business participation, allocating 15.0% of his contract volume to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5 and an additional 1.7% to Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses. This balanced approach reflects a deliberate effort to promote competition while fulfilling statutory obligations to support disadvantaged and veteran-owned enterprises. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 561612 (Security Guards and Patrol Services), which accounts for over one-third of his activity, followed by 334310 (Audio and Video Equipment Manufacturing) and 423430 (Computer and Peripheral Equipment Wholesalers). He also regularly procures educational support services and professional training solutions, indicating expertise in both physical security infrastructure and technology-enabled learning environments. His domain knowledge spans operational security, commercial electronics supply chains, and workforce development contracting.
