Justin M. Borden

Justin M. Borden serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from requirement validation and market research through solicitation, evaluation, award, and contract administration. He plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and promoting efficient, transparent procurement practices. His portfolio primarily encompasses services and supplies related to business associations, computer equipment and software distribution, and parking facility operations, reflecting a focus on administrative, logistical, and technology-enabled support functions. Borden’s work supports mission-critical agency operations by securing reliable vendors that meet performance, cost, and compliance standards. While specific contractor names are not available, Borden maintains relationships with a diverse mix of vendors, including small businesses, merchant wholesalers, and professional service providers. His contracting patterns suggest a preference for competitive, open-market solicitations, with a balanced engagement of both large and small entities. He consistently applies FAR Part 12 streamlined procedures for commercial items and employs performance-based contracting methods to ensure accountability and service quality. Borden demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting goals, with approximately two-thirds of his awards issued under open, non-set-aside conditions, while the remaining third is strategically allocated to small business set-asides. His distribution includes nearly equal portions of 8(a) competed and total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, indicating a deliberate effort to foster small business participation without compromising competition. This balanced approach supports broader federal objectives to expand economic opportunity while maintaining fiscal responsibility. His primary NAICS focus areas—813910 for business associations, 423430 for computer and software wholesale distribution, and 812930 for parking operations—reveal specialized expertise in procuring professional services, IT infrastructure, and facility support solutions. Borden’s technical knowledge spans commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) technology procurement, association management services, and operational logistics, enabling him to effectively translate agency needs into precise, enforceable contract requirements.
