Kristopher Lemaster

Kristopher A. Lemaster serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from requirements validation and market research to contract award and administration. He plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) while supporting mission-critical procurement needs across technical and professional service domains. His work typically involves complex, performance-based contracts for research, engineering, and information technology services, often requiring coordination with technical stakeholders to define clear statement of work objectives and evaluation criteria. While specific contractor names are not available, Lemaster maintains a broad network of vendor partnerships across commercial and small business sectors, engaging with firms capable of delivering specialized technical solutions under competitive and non-competitive contracting mechanisms. His procurement patterns reflect a preference for open competition, with the majority of acquisitions conducted under full and open procedures, indicating a focus on market-driven outcomes and value-based sourcing rather than sole-source or limited-reason exceptions. Lemaster’s set-aside preferences demonstrate a measured commitment to socioeconomic programs, with nearly 92% of acquisitions conducted without set-asides, while approximately 6.5% are reserved for total small business concerns and 1.6% for service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses (SDVOSBs). This pattern suggests a balanced approach—prioritizing broad market access while still supporting eligible small business participants in alignment with statutory goals under FAR Part 19. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541712 (R&D in physical, engineering, and life sciences), 541511 (custom computer programming), and 541910 (marketing research), indicating deep engagement with technical services supporting innovation, data analysis, and software development. He frequently procures specialized engineering services, custom software solutions, and market research capabilities, reflecting expertise in managing acquisitions within high-tech, knowledge-based industries.
