Fagan cultivates strategic relationships with a diverse base of manufacturers, particularly small businesses with niche technical expertise in surgical supplies, apparel contracting, and textile milling. He frequently engages with vendors holding specialized certifications and maintains a preference for suppliers capable of meeting stringent quality control and domestic sourcing standards. His contracting patterns reflect a collaborative approach, favoring long-term vendor partnerships that ensure supply chain resilience and consistent product compliance. A strong advocate for small business participation, Fagan consistently prioritizes set-aside opportunities, with over one-third of his awards reserved for Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5 and an additional five percent allocated to Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses. His procurement strategy actively promotes socioeconomic goals, ensuring equitable access for certified small businesses while maintaining rigorous performance benchmarks. He avoids broad open competitions unless necessary, demonstrating a deliberate commitment to expanding market access for underserved entrepreneurs. Fagan’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 339113 (surgical appliance and supplies manufacturing), 315210 (cut and sew apparel contractors), and 313210 (broadwoven fabric mills), reflecting expertise in medical-grade textiles, protective wear, and technical fabric systems. He specializes in sourcing precision-engineered medical devices, specialized uniforms, and industrial-grade textiles that meet federal performance and safety standards, demonstrating deep domain knowledge in both regulatory compliance and advanced material applications.
