His oversight ensures that vendor partnerships are built on accountability, competitive fairness, and long-term reliability, particularly in niche manufacturing and engineering support domains. McCain’s procurement portfolio is overwhelmingly non-set-aside, with 87.8% of awards issued under full and open competition. Nevertheless, he demonstrates meaningful commitment to small business participation, with 10.4% of awards designated as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, and an additional 0.9% allocated to both 8(a) and Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) programs. This balanced approach reflects a strategic intent to maintain market competitiveness while actively supporting socioeconomic goals and expanding opportunities for qualified small businesses. His primary industry focus centers on NAICS 339999 (All Other Miscellaneous Manufacturing), indicating frequent procurement of custom or specialized industrial components. He also consistently acquires services under NAICS 541712 (R&D in physical and engineering sciences) and 511210 (Software Publishers), reflecting technical expertise in advanced manufacturing, scientific instrumentation, and industrial equipment maintenance.
