Michael J. Chiodi

Michael J. Chiodi serves as a Contracting Specialist responsible for managing the acquisition lifecycle for a diverse range of technical and industrial services. He plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with federal procurement regulations while advancing mission-critical needs through competitive, transparent contracting practices. His portfolio primarily includes procurements under the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), with a focus on complex services and specialized manufacturing requirements. Chiodi routinely handles solicitations ranging from professional technical services to industrial equipment maintenance and laboratory instrumentation, ensuring alignment with agency objectives and regulatory standards. While specific contractor names are not available, Chiodi maintains a balanced procurement approach that engages both large-capacity vendors and small business concerns. His contracting patterns reflect a preference for open competition, with the majority of awards issued under unrestricted solicitations. However, he actively leverages small business set-asides to foster market diversity, particularly through Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a structured commitment to expanding vendor participation across the supply chain. Chiodi’s socioeconomic contracting strategy prioritizes small business inclusion, with nearly 38% of his awards designated for Total Small Business Set-Asides and a minimal but targeted use of SBA Certified Economically Disadvantaged Women-Owned Small Business (EDWOSB) set-asides. His approach aligns with federal goals to promote equitable access while maintaining rigorous performance standards. He consistently applies appropriate set-aside authorities to ensure eligible small businesses have meaningful opportunities to compete for federal contracts. His primary NAICS focus areas include Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing, Commercial and Industrial Machinery Repair and Maintenance, and All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services. He also regularly procures specialized food processing services, particularly in meat and poultry processing. This technical breadth reflects expertise in industrial, scientific, and operational support domains, requiring a nuanced understanding of product specifications, quality control standards, and service-level performance metrics.
