Jordan Zipper

Jordan Zipper serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of procurement actions, from requirement analysis and solicitation development to contract award and administration. Within the agency’s acquisition framework, Zipper ensures compliance with federal contracting regulations while delivering mission-critical electrical infrastructure services. Their portfolio primarily consists of firm-fixed-price and performance-based contracts for wiring installation, electrical system upgrades, and related construction support services. Zipper works closely with technical stakeholders to translate operational needs into clear, enforceable contract requirements, ensuring timely delivery of safe and code-compliant electrical systems. Zipper maintains a consistent working relationship with a broad base of qualified electrical contractors and specialty subcontractors, prioritizing vendors with proven experience in commercial and institutional wiring systems. While no single contractor dominates their award portfolio, Zipper regularly engages with firms holding relevant OSHA and NETA certifications, emphasizing technical competency and safety compliance. Their procurement approach favors responsive, capable vendors with established track records in field execution, fostering long-term partnerships grounded in performance accountability and regulatory adherence. Zipper’s contracting patterns reflect a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of awards issued under the “No Set-Aside” category. This indicates a deliberate focus on merit-based selection rather than socioeconomic set-asides, aligning with mission-critical timelines and the specialized nature of electrical contracting requirements. While small business participation is not formally prioritized through set-aside programs, Zipper remains attentive to the capabilities of all qualified offerors, ensuring fair and transparent competition under FAR Part 15 procedures. The specialist’s expertise is narrowly focused on NAICS 238210—Electrical Contractors and Other Wiring Installation Contractors—reflecting deep technical familiarity with commercial, industrial, and institutional electrical systems. They procure services including panel installations, conduit routing, lighting retrofits, and emergency power system integration, requiring precise adherence to the National Electrical Code. Zipper’s domain knowledge ensures contract language accurately captures technical scope, inspection protocols, and performance metrics essential to mission-critical electrical infrastructure.
