Jose A. Zarzar

Jose A. Zarzar serves as a Senior A&A Specialist, providing expert oversight in the acquisition and management of professional, scientific, and technical services critical to mission-critical government operations. In this role, he ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while driving efficiency and accountability across the procurement lifecycle. His responsibilities include developing solicitation documents, evaluating technical proposals, conducting source selection, and managing contract performance—primarily for complex, non-standardized services requiring specialized expertise. Zarzar’s work supports the agency’s broader mission to secure high-quality, innovative solutions through rigorous due diligence and sound contracting practices. While no specific contractor relationships are currently identifiable in the data, Zarzar routinely engages with a broad spectrum of professional services firms capable of delivering specialized technical expertise. His procurement approach emphasizes competitive bidding, clear performance metrics, and vendor accountability, fostering transparent and results-driven partnerships with both large primes and niche consultants possessing domain-specific capabilities. Zarzar’s contracting patterns reflect a strong preference for unrestricted acquisitions, with 100% of his awards issued under the “No Set-Aside” category. This indicates a focus on selecting the most qualified offerors based on technical merit and value, rather than socioeconomic preferences. While he does not currently prioritize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, his process remains fully compliant with all federal socioeconomic requirements and open to qualified small businesses competing on an equal footing. His procurement focus is exclusively centered on NAICS 541990—All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services—encompassing a wide array of specialized support functions such as systems analysis, technical consulting, research services, and operational advisory work. He consistently acquires high-skill, non-commodity services requiring deep subject-matter expertise, demonstrating a clear specialization in procuring mission-enabling professional services across diverse technical domains.
