Samuel A Kuntz

Samuel A. Kuntz serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from requirements definition through contract award and administration. He plays a pivotal role in advancing the agency’s mission by ensuring compliance with federal procurement regulations, particularly under FAR Part 19, while promoting efficiency, transparency, and fair competition. His portfolio primarily encompasses service-based and construction-related contracts, with a strong emphasis on environmental services and infrastructure support. Kuntz routinely handles complex procurements requiring technical evaluation, source selection, and post-award contract management, ensuring alignment with statutory obligations and agency priorities. Kuntz maintains collaborative relationships with a diverse pool of vendors, particularly small businesses certified under socioeconomic programs. He engages regularly with firms specializing in waste management, hazardous materials handling, and specialty construction services, fostering long-term vendor partnerships grounded in performance accountability and regulatory compliance. His working pattern reflects a preference for established small business contractors with proven track records in niche technical domains, encouraging repeat business through clear performance expectations and streamlined contract modifications. A dedicated advocate for small business participation, Kuntz consistently prioritizes set-aside opportunities, with approximately 70% of his acquisitions reserved for small businesses under FAR 19.5, and 20% specifically allocated to HUBZone-certified firms. His contracting patterns reflect a deliberate strategy to expand economic opportunity within underserved communities while ensuring robust competition. He rarely utilizes full and open competitions, instead leveraging targeted set-asides to meet statutory goals and promote equitable access to federal contracting. Kuntz’s technical expertise centers on NAICS codes 562119 (Other Waste Collection) and 562211 (Hazardous Waste Treatment and Disposal), each representing 20% of his portfolio, alongside specialized construction services such as poured concrete foundations (238110), roofing (238160), and metal window and door manufacturing (332321). His domain knowledge spans environmental compliance, hazardous material handling protocols, and building infrastructure standards, enabling him to effectively evaluate technical proposals and ensure contractor capability in highly regulated industries.
