Sam K. Ansani

Sam K. Ansani serves as a Contracting Officer within the Incident Support Section (ISS70) of the Federal Emergency Management Agency, responsible for managing mission-critical acquisitions that sustain emergency response and recovery operations. In this role, Ansani executes full lifecycle contracting for goods and services essential to maintaining operational continuity during domestic disasters, ensuring timely delivery of life-sustaining resources under austere conditions. His portfolio primarily encompasses procurement of mobile housing units, recreational vehicle support systems, specialty trade services, and medical supply chains critical to survivor care and infrastructure resilience. Ansani’s work directly supports FEMA’s mandate to enable rapid, scalable response by securing reliable, field-deployable assets through compliant, transparent acquisition processes. While no specific contractor relationships are currently identifiable in the data, Ansani routinely engages with manufacturers, specialty contractors, and distributors capable of delivering rapid-turnaround solutions under emergency procurement authorities. His contracting approach emphasizes agility, compliance with FAR and DFARS, and vendor readiness to operate in high-tempo, low-infrastructure environments. He works closely with suppliers who demonstrate proven capacity for just-in-time delivery, logistics adaptability, and quality assurance under pressure. Ansani’s procurement activity reflects a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of acquisitions issued without socioeconomic set-asides. This indicates a strategic focus on maximizing vendor competition and operational speed over targeted small business set-asides, though small businesses remain eligible and active participants in his competitions. His approach prioritizes capability and responsiveness over socioeconomic classification, aligning with the urgency-driven nature of emergency response contracting. His primary NAICS focus includes Travel Trailer and Camper Manufacturing (336214) and Recreational Vehicle Dealers (441210), reflecting a reliance on mobile, self-sustaining shelter solutions. He also procures specialty trade contracting (238990) for on-site infrastructure support, surgical appliance manufacturing (339113) for medical triage needs, and residential lessors (531110) for temporary housing. This unique blend underscores his technical expertise in field-deployable, multi-use systems that bridge shelter, medical, and logistical requirements during large-scale emergencies.
