Marc L. Long

Marc L. Long serves as a procurement professional responsible for managing complex acquisitions in the technology and information services sectors. His work supports the agency’s mission to modernize digital infrastructure and enhance operational efficiency through strategic sourcing of IT solutions. He routinely handles competitive procurements under FAR Part 15, with a focus on service-based contracts requiring technical evaluation and performance-based outcomes. His portfolio spans software development, telecommunications, and systems integration, often involving multi-year task orders and indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) vehicles. Long cultivates partnerships with a diverse range of vendors, including both large prime contractors and small businesses capable of delivering specialized technical services. While no single contractor dominates his award profile, his contracting patterns reflect a balanced approach that prioritizes competition, innovation, and vendor capability over sole-source reliance. He engages with firms offering custom programming, computer equipment distribution, and satellite communications, fostering relationships built on compliance, past performance, and responsiveness to evolving technical requirements. His procurement strategy demonstrates a strong preference for open competition, with 77.8% of awards issued without set-aside restrictions. However, he consistently allocates 22.2% of opportunities to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, indicating a deliberate commitment to expanding market access for small businesses. While no specific socioeconomic categories like 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB are dominant, his reliance on small business set-asides signals an active effort to promote broader participation in federal contracting. Long’s primary procurement focus centers on five key NAICS codes: Custom Computer Programming Services, Computer and Peripheral Equipment Wholesaling, Satellite Telecommunications, Administrative Management Consulting, and Information Services (511210). This reflects deep expertise in procuring software development, network infrastructure, IT consulting, and digital communications services—domains critical to sustaining mission-critical operations across federal systems.
