Kevin Bright

Kevin Bright serves as a Contract Specialist within the 693JJ4 Office of Acquisition Management at the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, where he manages the full lifecycle of procurement actions supporting the agency’s mission to enhance commercial motor vehicle safety through technology and data-driven oversight. He specializes in acquiring technical consulting services, information systems modernization solutions, and regulatory compliance support, ensuring acquisitions align with FAR guidelines and agency strategic priorities. His portfolio primarily consists of service-based contracts requiring specialized expertise in cybersecurity, data analytics, and operational systems integration. Kevin maintains a consistent working relationship with National Institute for Safety Research Inc., a key contractor providing advanced safety analytics and technical advisory services. His procurement approach emphasizes performance-based contracting and outcome-driven deliverables, fostering long-term partnerships with vendors capable of delivering scalable, mission-critical solutions. He engages with a select group of specialized service providers, prioritizing technical proficiency and proven experience in transportation safety domains. His set-aside preferences reflect a strong orientation toward open competition, with 87.5% of acquisitions conducted without socioeconomic set-asides. However, he consistently reserves 12.5% of opportunities for Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a measured but deliberate commitment to small business inclusion without compromising mission readiness or technical requirements. Kevin’s procurement focus centers on NAICS codes 541519 (Other Computer Related Services) and 561710 (Exterminating and Pest Control Services), with significant activity in custom programming (541511) and systems design (541512). His acquisitions support the modernization of FMCSA’s regulatory platforms, data collection systems, and safety compliance tools, requiring deep domain knowledge in transportation technology infrastructure and federal regulatory frameworks.
