Samuel Byun

Samuel Byun serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from requirement validation and market research to contract award and administration. He plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and supports the agency’s mission by delivering essential goods and services through transparent, competitive procurement processes. His portfolio primarily encompasses professional services and specialized equipment procurement, with a focus on facilities support, engineering solutions, and technical manufacturing sectors. Byun ensures that all acquisitions align with statutory requirements, agency priorities, and sound fiscal stewardship. While no specific contractor relationships are currently identifiable, Samuel Byun engages with a diverse range of vendors, including both large prime contractors and small business subcontractors, fostering competitive bidding environments and encouraging vendor collaboration through clear solicitation language and post-award performance oversight. His working relationships emphasize fairness, accountability, and adherence to procurement integrity standards, promoting an open and equitable marketplace. Byun demonstrates a strong preference for non-set-aside acquisitions, with 80% of his awards issued under full and open competition. However, he consistently allocates 20% of his contracting activity to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, reflecting a deliberate commitment to expanding opportunities for small businesses without relying on socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs. His approach balances broad market access with targeted small business inclusion. His procurement focus centers on five key NAICS categories: Facilities Support Services (561210), Engineering Services (541330), Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing (334516), Radio and Television Broadcasting Equipment Manufacturing (334220), and Industrial Machinery Manufacturing (333244). He specializes in acquiring technical instrumentation, communications infrastructure, and professional engineering support, demonstrating deep familiarity with complex technical requirements and performance-based contracting methodologies.
