Mohammad Latif

Mohammad Latif serves as a Contracting Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from requirements validation and market research to contract award and administration. He plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with federal procurement regulations while advancing mission-critical objectives through efficient, transparent, and competitive contracting practices. His portfolio primarily encompasses service-based acquisitions across health insurance, facilities support, and janitorial services, with a focus on achieving value, accountability, and regulatory adherence in every procurement action. Latif maintains a broad network of vendor relationships, engaging with both large institutional providers and small business contractors across multiple industry sectors. He routinely works with direct health and life insurance carriers, construction material wholesalers, and facilities management firms, fostering competitive bidding environments that promote innovation and service quality. His approach emphasizes fair and open competition, with a preference for non-set-aside solicitations that maximize market participation while ensuring rigorous evaluation of technical capability and past performance. While the majority of his acquisitions—94.7%—are conducted without socioeconomic set-asides, Latif demonstrates targeted support for small business participation through 8(a) competed contracts, which account for 5.3% of his award activity. This balanced approach reflects a commitment to socioeconomic goals without compromising procurement integrity or mission needs. He actively encourages 8(a) firms to compete for appropriate opportunities, ensuring equitable access while maintaining high standards of contractor performance. His primary NAICS focus areas include Direct Health and Medical Insurance Carriers (524114), Direct Life Insurance Carriers (524113), Janitorial Services (561720), Facilities Support Services (561210), and Brick, Stone, and Related Construction Material Merchant Wholesalers (423320). This specialization underscores his expertise in procuring complex insurance services, operational support functions, and essential building supply chain solutions, positioning him as a key liaison between agency needs and specialized commercial markets.
