Joshua Dobereiner

Joshua Dobereiner serves as a Contracting Officer responsible for managing federal acquisitions across a diverse portfolio of technical and industrial goods and services. His role centers on ensuring compliance with federal procurement regulations while advancing agency mission objectives through strategic sourcing. He routinely handles competitive procurements under FAR Part 15, including sealed bids and negotiated contracts, with a strong emphasis on small business set-asides. His work supports the acquisition of specialized equipment, analytical instruments, and technology services critical to operational readiness and scientific advancement. Dobereiner maintains collaborative relationships with a broad spectrum of vendors, particularly small businesses certified under socioeconomic programs. He engages regularly with manufacturers of laboratory and agricultural equipment, as well as IT service providers offering custom programming and training solutions. His contracting approach prioritizes fair competition and vendor diversity, fostering long-term partnerships with firms capable of delivering high-quality, mission-critical solutions under tight regulatory frameworks. A defining feature of Dobereiner’s procurement strategy is his robust commitment to small business participation, with over 54% of his awards designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. He consistently prioritizes these set-asides over unrestricted competitions, while also allocating meaningful portions to service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses and, to a lesser extent, HUBZone and 8(a) concerns. This pattern reflects a deliberate effort to promote economic opportunity and ensure that federal contracting supports underserved entrepreneurial communities. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 334516 (Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing) and 333111 (Farm Machinery and Equipment Manufacturing), indicating deep expertise in procuring precision scientific and agricultural equipment. He also regularly acquires custom computer programming services (541511) and computer training (611420), demonstrating a technical understanding of both hardware and software-based solutions. His domain knowledge spans instrumentation, agricultural technology, and IT support services, positioning him as a specialized procurement professional in mission-critical technical sectors.
