Samuel Pacheco

Samuel Pacheco serves as a procurement specialist responsible for managing acquisitions in the information and research services sector, with a primary focus on non-defense scientific and digital content solutions. He plays a critical role in executing agency-wide contracting objectives by ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations while aligning procurements with mission-critical operational needs. His portfolio centers on complex service-based contracts, particularly those involving data aggregation, analytical platforms, and scientific research support services. Pacheco routinely oversees full life-cycle acquisitions—from market research and solicitation development to contract award and performance monitoring—ensuring transparency, competition, and regulatory adherence. Pacheco’s contractor relationships are primarily with firms specializing in information services and applied research, including providers of digital content platforms, data analytics tools, and technical research support. While no single vendor dominates his award portfolio, he consistently engages with a diverse pool of vendors capable of delivering high-quality, scalable research and information solutions. His approach emphasizes competitive bidding and performance-based contracting, fostering partnerships with both established contractors and agile service providers capable of adapting to evolving scientific and informational demands. Pacheco’s contracting patterns reflect a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of his awards issued under the “No Set-Aside” category. This indicates a deliberate focus on maximizing competition and selecting the most technically capable offerors regardless of socioeconomic status. While he does not prioritize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, his procurement strategy remains fully compliant with all small business participation goals, relying on unrestricted competitions to ensure value and innovation. His primary procurement focus is NAICS 519130, which encompasses other information services such as online databases, research portals, and subscription-based knowledge platforms. A secondary emphasis on NAICS 541715 reflects his involvement in contracting for physical, engineering, and life sciences research services, including laboratory data analysis, technical consulting, and applied scientific studies. His expertise lies in acquiring mission-critical research infrastructure and digital information systems that support evidence-based decision-making.
