Maxwell Sarpong

Maxwell Sarpong serves as a Contracting Officer responsible for managing the acquisition lifecycle for professional and technical services across federal programs. In this role, he ensures compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), executes competitive procurements, and aligns contracting actions with agency mission objectives. He typically handles complex service-based contracts requiring detailed statement of work development, source selection under FAR Part 15, and post-award contract administration. His work supports mission-critical functions through the procurement of consulting, training, and technical services, emphasizing transparency, fairness, and regulatory integrity throughout the acquisition process. While no specific contractor relationships are identified, Maxwell consistently engages a diverse pool of vendors, including small businesses, professional services firms, and specialized consultants. His procurement approach prioritizes open competition while leveraging socioeconomic programs to expand market access. He maintains a balanced relationship with both large service providers and certified small businesses, fostering a competitive environment that encourages innovation and value-driven outcomes. Maxwell demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with 22.4% of his acquisitions set aside for small business programs, including 16.3% as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5 and 6.1% competed under the 8(a) program. His set-aside preferences reflect a deliberate strategy to promote economic opportunity and workforce development, consistently prioritizing small business eligibility criteria while maintaining rigorous evaluation standards. He avoids broad open competitions where socioeconomic goals can be meaningfully achieved through targeted set-asides. His primary procurement focus lies in professional services, with significant activity in NAICS 541611 (Administrative Management Consulting), 541990 (Other Professional Services), and 611430 (Management Development Training). He regularly acquires strategic planning, organizational development, and technical advisory services, indicating expertise in human capital and operational efficiency domains. His technical acumen spans performance-based contracting, outcome-driven deliverables, and service-level agreement design within the public sector consulting ecosystem.
