Leopoldo Romo

Leopoldo Romo serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from requirements definition and market research through solicitation, evaluation, award, and contract administration. He plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and promoting efficient, transparent procurement practices. His portfolio primarily encompasses professional services and light manufacturing contracts, with a focus on engineering support, management consulting, and facility-related construction services. Romo ensures that all acquisitions align with agency mission objectives while upholding statutory requirements for fair competition and fiscal responsibility. While no specific contractor relationships are currently identifiable in the data, Romo routinely engages with a diverse pool of vendors, including small businesses, general contractors, and specialized service providers. His procurement approach emphasizes competitive bidding, clear performance metrics, and contractor accountability, fostering relationships built on compliance, responsiveness, and technical capability. He works closely with acquisition teams to evaluate proposals and ensure vendor performance meets contractual obligations across multiple technical domains. Romo demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with over 33% of his awards designated for small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, including a notable 6.7% allocated to Women-Owned Small Businesses. The majority of his contracts are competed without set-aside, reflecting a balanced strategy that prioritizes open competition while actively supporting socioeconomic goals. His pattern of awarding to small businesses underscores a deliberate effort to expand market access and promote equitable contracting opportunities. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541330 (Engineering Services), where he sources technical expertise for infrastructure and operational support. He also regularly procures administrative management consulting, flooring installation, fabricated metal products, and office furniture manufacturing services. This diverse portfolio reflects a specialization in mission-enabling services and light industrial goods, requiring a nuanced understanding of technical specifications, delivery timelines, and quality assurance standards.
