Raj Kohli

Raj Kohli serves as a Contracting Officer responsible for managing complex financial services acquisitions aligned with federal financial operations standards. In this role, he ensures compliance with FAR and agency-specific procurement policies while facilitating efficient, transparent, and mission-critical contract award processes. His portfolio primarily encompasses financial transactions processing, reserve and clearinghouse activities, and related credit intermediation services, supporting the infrastructure that underpins national financial systems. Kohli handles a range of acquisition types, including performance-based service contracts, indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) vehicles, and competitive sealed bids, ensuring rigorous market research and fair competition practices. While specific contractor relationships are not publicly enumerated, Kohli’s procurement patterns indicate consistent engagement with firms specializing in payment processing systems, automated clearinghouse (ACH) operations, and financial data reconciliation platforms. He cultivates partnerships with both large-scale financial technology providers and specialized niche vendors capable of delivering secure, scalable, and audit-compliant financial infrastructure solutions. His approach emphasizes vendor performance metrics, risk mitigation, and contract administration rigor to ensure operational continuity and regulatory adherence. Kohli’s contracting activity reflects a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of awards issued under non-set-aside categories. This indicates a focus on selecting the most qualified offerors based on technical merit and cost-effectiveness, rather than socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs. His approach prioritizes mission performance and market-wide competition, consistent with the operational demands of financial systems requiring high reliability and scalability. His primary NAICS focus lies in 522320 (Financial Transactions Processing, Reserve, and Clearinghouse Activities) and 522390 (Other Activities Related to Credit Intermediation), reflecting deep expertise in payment systems, transaction settlement, and credit processing infrastructure. He routinely procures software platforms, backend clearing systems, cybersecurity-enhanced financial interfaces, and related professional services essential to maintaining the integrity of federal financial operations.
