Mark R. De La Rosa

Mark R. De La Rosa serves as a Contracting Officer responsible for managing complex procurements across critical technology and industrial sectors. He plays a pivotal role in executing federal acquisition strategies that align with agency mission needs, overseeing the full lifecycle of contracts from solicitation to award and administration. His portfolio primarily involves technical acquisitions in manufacturing, communications, and research services, with a focus on ensuring compliance with FAR regulations and promoting efficient, transparent procurement practices. De La Rosa routinely handles sealed bids, competitive proposals, and simplified acquisitions for high-precision equipment and specialized technical services. While specific contractor relationships are not publicly enumerated, De La Rosa’s procurement patterns indicate consistent engagement with a diverse pool of vendors, including both large primes and small businesses capable of delivering specialized equipment and R&D services. His working relationships reflect a preference for competitive, performance-based contracting, fostering partnerships with firms that demonstrate technical capability, quality assurance, and timely delivery in high-stakes technical domains. De La Rosa’s set-aside preferences show a strong inclination toward open competition, with 89.5% of acquisitions conducted without set-asides. However, he maintains a measurable commitment to small business participation, with 10.5% of awards designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This balance reflects a strategic approach that prioritizes market competitiveness while ensuring meaningful opportunities for qualified small businesses. His primary NAICS focus areas include manufacturing of air-conditioning and refrigeration equipment (333415), communications equipment (334290), search and navigation systems (334511), and research in the social sciences (541720). These reflect deep technical expertise in procuring advanced instrumentation, defense-related electronics, and applied research services, positioning him as a key liaison between government requirements and specialized industrial capabilities.
