Keaston D. Simmons

Keaston D. Simmons serves as a Contract Administrator responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from solicitation through contract award and administration. In this role, he ensures compliance with federal procurement regulations, including the FAR and socioeconomic requirements, while supporting mission-critical infrastructure and technology initiatives. His portfolio encompasses a diverse range of procurement actions, primarily in construction, IT services, and utility systems, reflecting a balanced approach to technical and operational needs. Simmons works closely with program managers and legal advisors to structure solicitations that align with agency objectives while maintaining transparency and competitive integrity. While specific contractor names are not available, Simmons maintains relationships with a broad spectrum of vendors, including small businesses, general contractors, and specialized service providers. His contracting patterns suggest a preference for competitive, open solicitations, with a notable emphasis on small business participation through set-aside programs. He engages with both prime contractors and subcontractors to ensure performance accountability and regulatory adherence, fostering collaborative vendor relationships grounded in compliance and delivery excellence. Simmons demonstrates a clear commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with approximately 33.3% of his awards directed toward small business set-asides, including 22.2% under Total Small Business Set-Aside (FAR 19.5) and 11.1% under 8(a) competed contracts. His procurement strategy prioritizes opportunities for small disadvantaged businesses while maintaining a majority of awards as non-set-aside to ensure broad competition. This balanced approach supports both fiscal responsibility and federal goals for equitable economic participation. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 237110 (Water and Sewer Line Construction) and 541519 (Other Computer Related Services), each accounting for 22.2% of his activity, indicating expertise in civil infrastructure and IT support services.
