Paul Kobylarz

Paul Kobylarz serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from requirements development through contract award and administration. He plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with FAR regulations and advancing agency procurement objectives through transparent, competitive processes. His portfolio primarily encompasses industrial and office equipment acquisitions, with a strong emphasis on small business participation and socioeconomic contracting goals. Kobylarz routinely handles simplified acquisitions, sealed bids, and negotiated contracts under Part 13 and Part 15 procedures, ensuring alignment with federal sourcing policies and fiscal accountability standards. While no specific contractor relationships are identifiable in current data, Kobylarz engages with a diverse range of vendors, including small businesses, mid-tier manufacturers, and specialty suppliers across multiple industrial sectors. His contracting patterns reflect a preference for open competition with robust small business set-asides, fostering equitable access to federal opportunities. He maintains collaborative relationships with vendors who demonstrate compliance, reliability, and capacity to meet technical specifications, often leveraging past performance data and market research to inform source selection decisions. Kobylarz exhibits a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with over half of his acquisitions designated as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to maximize opportunities for small businesses, particularly those owned by socially and economically disadvantaged individuals. His consistent use of set-asides underscores a dedication to the government’s mission of promoting small business growth and workforce diversity through targeted procurement. His primary procurement focus centers on NAICS codes related to packaging machinery, wood office furniture, corrugated box manufacturing, and related industrial equipment. These categories indicate expertise in procuring durable goods and production systems for institutional and administrative use. Kobylarz brings technical familiarity with manufacturing standards, material specifications, and supply chain logistics, ensuring acquired goods meet operational needs while supporting sustainable and efficient federal operations.
