Paul White

Paul White serves as a Contracting Officer responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from requirement definition and market research to contract award and administration. He ensures compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and promotes efficient, transparent procurement practices aligned with agency mission objectives. His portfolio primarily encompasses information technology services, analytical instrumentation, and support services, with a focus on competitive, non-set-aside procurements that maximize value and innovation. He routinely engages with industry stakeholders to clarify solicitation requirements and foster fair competition. While no specific contractor relationships are currently identifiable in the data, Paul White’s procurement patterns indicate a preference for open competition under FAR Part 15, with a balanced approach to vendor engagement across large and small business sectors. He fosters collaborative relationships with vendors through pre-solicitation outreach, industry days, and responsive source selection processes, ensuring that proposals meet technical and compliance standards while encouraging innovation and cost-effectiveness. Paul’s set-aside preferences reflect a strong orientation toward open competition, with 90% of his awards issued without socioeconomic set-asides. However, he consistently allocates 10% of his contracting activity to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a measured but deliberate commitment to small business participation. He does not appear to prioritize specialized set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB, indicating a focus on broad-based small business eligibility rather than targeted socioeconomic programs. His primary NAICS focus areas include 519130 (Other Information Services), 511210 (Software Publishers), and 334516 (Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing), reflecting expertise in digital services, software development, and scientific instrumentation procurement. He also engages with vendors in hospitality services and other computer-related support functions, indicating a diverse technical domain that spans both commercial IT and specialized scientific equipment acquisition. His work supports mission-critical capabilities requiring reliable, scalable, and technologically advanced solutions.
