Sam Ansani

Sam J. Ansani serves as a Contract Specialist within the Mitigation SECTION (MIT60) of the Federal Emergency Management Agency, where he plays a critical role in executing procurements that advance national resilience and disaster risk reduction. He manages the full lifecycle of acquisition actions—from market research and solicitation development to contract award and administration—supporting data-driven planning, catastrophe modeling, and operational sustainment of the National Flood Insurance Program. His acquisitions primarily support technical consulting, logistical coordination, and mission-enabling services essential to federal mitigation initiatives. While specific contractor relationships are not publicly enumerated, Ansani’s procurement patterns reflect engagement with a diverse pool of vendors offering specialized services in administrative management, travel logistics, and emergency response support. He maintains collaborative working relationships with both large-capability firms and small business concerns, consistently ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and performance-based contracting standards. Ansani demonstrates a strong preference for open competition, with 78.6% of his acquisitions conducted without set-aside restrictions. However, he actively supports socioeconomic programs, allocating 14.3% of opportunities to 8(a) certified firms and 7.1% to total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, reflecting a balanced commitment to broad market access and targeted small business inclusion. His primary NAICS focus areas include 621910 (Ambulance Services) and 721110 (Hotels and Motels), indicating procurement of emergency response transportation and temporary lodging solutions for disaster personnel. He also regularly acquires 541611 (Management Consulting Services) for resilience planning and 561599 (Travel Arrangement Services) to support field operations. These patterns reveal expertise in procuring mission-critical, non-traditional services that underpin FEMA’s operational readiness and community resilience infrastructure.
