Justin Zerbato

Justin Zerbato serves as a procurement specialist within the GSA Federal Acquisition Service’s FAS AAS Fedsim division, where he plays a critical role in securing mission-enabling professional and technical services for federal agencies. His responsibilities center on managing complex acquisitions for research, development, and strategic consulting services that support national infrastructure and defense readiness. He routinely oversees solicitations under the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), ensuring compliance with statutory requirements while aligning procurements with the agency’s priorities in IT modernization, logistics optimization, and operational resilience. His work directly supports the delivery of secure, scalable solutions essential to federal mission continuity. Zerbato engages with a broad spectrum of professional service providers, primarily in the scientific, engineering, and human capital consulting sectors. While specific contractor names are not publicly disclosed, his procurement patterns reflect consistent collaboration with firms possessing deep domain expertise in physical and life sciences research, organizational development, and technical advisory services. He fosters long-term vendor partnerships grounded in performance-based contracting and outcome-driven deliverables, emphasizing quality, innovation, and regulatory adherence over transactional engagements. Zerbato’s contracting activity is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of acquisitions conducted under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic emphasis on maximizing technical capability and market-wide innovation rather than socioeconomic set-asides. While he does not prioritize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs, his approach ensures rigorous evaluation of all offerors based on technical merit and past performance, maintaining compliance with FAR Part 6 while achieving mission objectives. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541715, encompassing research and development in physical, engineering, and life sciences—particularly in areas such as systems engineering, test and evaluation, and mission-critical analysis. He also routinely procures human resources consulting (541612) and specialized technical services (541990), demonstrating expertise in workforce transformation, organizational design, and operational readiness support for federal systems.
