Samuel Makumbe

Samuel Makumbe serves as a Procurement Agent responsible for managing the acquisition lifecycle for critical infrastructure and transportation support services. In this role, he ensures compliance with federal procurement regulations while delivering timely, cost-effective solutions aligned with operational needs. His responsibilities include soliciting bids, evaluating proposals, negotiating contract terms, and administering awarded contracts across diverse technical domains. Samuel plays a pivotal role in executing the agency’s procurement mission by facilitating transparent, competitive processes that promote efficiency and accountability in acquisition outcomes. Samuel maintains a broad network of vendor relationships across multiple sectors, engaging with both large prime contractors and specialized small businesses. While no single contractor dominates his portfolio, he consistently works with firms capable of delivering automotive wholesale distribution, air transportation support services, and electrical installation solutions. His procurement approach emphasizes competitive bidding and performance-based contracting, fostering strong vendor collaboration through clear requirements, timely communication, and rigorous contract oversight. Samuel’s contracting patterns reflect a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of his acquisitions designated as “No Set-Aside.” This indicates a focus on merit-based selection rather than socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs. While he does not prioritize targeted small business set-asides, his processes remain fully compliant with all federal small business participation requirements, ensuring fair access for all qualified vendors. His primary procurement focus lies in three NAICS categories: 423110 (Automobile and Other Motor Vehicle Merchant Wholesalers), 488190 (Other Support Activities for Air Transportation), and 238210 (Electrical Contractors and Other Wiring Installation Contractors). This triad reflects his expertise in sourcing vehicle distribution systems, aviation ground support equipment, and commercial electrical infrastructure. Samuel brings technical proficiency in logistics, transportation systems, and facility electrical compliance, making him a key operator in mission-critical procurement domains.
