Sean C. Capik

Sean C. Capik serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from requirements definition and market research through solicitation, evaluation, award, and contract administration. He plays a critical role in advancing the agency’s mission by ensuring compliance with federal procurement regulations, particularly under the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), while promoting transparency, competition, and fiscal responsibility. His portfolio primarily consists of research and development contracts requiring technical expertise in physical, engineering, and life sciences, often involving complex scientific instrumentation, laboratory services, and data analysis solutions. Capik maintains collaborative relationships with a diverse pool of vendors, with a pronounced emphasis on small business participation. While no single contractor dominates his award portfolio, he consistently engages with innovative small firms capable of delivering specialized R&D services, fostering long-term partnerships grounded in performance, compliance, and technical excellence. His contracting approach prioritizes open competition while leveraging socioeconomic programs to expand market access for underrepresented businesses. He demonstrates an unwavering commitment to small business set-asides, with 100% of his acquisitions structured under the Total Small Business Set-Aside authority (FAR 19.5). This reflects a deliberate strategy to maximize opportunities for small businesses across all socioeconomic categories, including HUBZone, Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned, and Woman-Owned Small Businesses, ensuring equitable access to federal contracting opportunities. His primary technical focus is on NAICS 541712—Research and Development in the Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences (except Biotechnology). He routinely procures services related to applied scientific research, experimental design, laboratory testing, engineering analysis, and data-driven R&D support, requiring contractors with proven capabilities in scientific methodology, regulatory compliance, and technical innovation within non-biotech domains.
