Kevin Gleaton

Kevin Gleaton serves as an Acquisition Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of procurement actions within his assigned operational domain. He ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while executing competitive solicitations, evaluating proposals, and administering contracts to meet mission-critical needs. His role is central to translating agency requirements into actionable acquisition strategies, with a consistent focus on timely, transparent, and cost-effective sourcing. Gleaton typically handles commercial food manufacturing contracts, leveraging FAR Part 12 streamlined procedures and performance-based acquisition methods to secure high-quality, standardized products. While no specific contractor relationships are currently identifiable in the data, Gleaton’s procurement activity suggests a broad vendor base engaged through open market solicitations. He works with a diverse pool of suppliers, including both large-scale manufacturers and small business concerns, primarily through indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) and fixed-price contract vehicles. His approach emphasizes fair and open competition, with no preference for restricted or set-aside pathways, indicating a reliance on market-driven solutions and price competitiveness. Gleaton’s contracting patterns reflect a 100% emphasis on non-set-aside procurements, demonstrating a deliberate focus on full and open competition. He does not prioritize socioeconomic programs such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, instead favoring unrestricted solicitations that maximize vendor participation and price transparency. This approach aligns with mission requirements demanding standardized, high-volume food products where broad market access ensures consistent supply and quality control. His primary procurement focus is on NAICS 311999 — All Other Miscellaneous Food Manufacturing — encompassing a wide range of processed, packaged, and specialty food items not classified under more specific categories. He procures items such as ready-to-eat meals, dietary supplements, and institutional food products tailored for federal operations. Gleaton’s expertise lies in evaluating technical specifications, nutritional compliance, and packaging standards to ensure products meet federal dietary and safety guidelines, positioning him as a specialist in non-perishable, bulk food acquisition for government use.
