His contracting patterns reflect a preference for established GSA Schedule holders and qualified commercial vendors capable of meeting federal quality, delivery, and service-level requirements. He maintains consistent vendor engagement through performance-based contracting and post-award oversight to ensure compliance with federal standards and delivery reliability. Duncan’s procurement activities reflect a 100% non-set-aside orientation, indicating a focus on open competition to achieve broad market access and operational efficiency. This approach prioritizes cost-effectiveness and scalability over socioeconomic set-asides, though it does not preclude participation from small or disadvantaged businesses that compete on merit under full and open competition.

His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 424120 (stationery and office supplies wholesale), 339940 (office supplies manufacturing), and 561320 (temporary help services). He specializes in procuring items ranging from printed materials and ergonomic office equipment to professional support staffing, demonstrating deep expertise in commercial item acquisition, catalog-based ordering, and supply chain reliability for high-volume administrative needs.
