Sean Young

Sean Young serves as Contracting Officer and FBO Posting Representative for Sources Sought and Construction-related acquisitions within the Cincinnati Acquisition Division of the Environmental Protection Agency. In this role, he facilitates the procurement of mission-critical environmental science and regulatory support services, ensuring alignment with federal acquisition regulations and EPA’s scientific integrity goals. He manages the full lifecycle of solicitations, from sources sought postings through contract award, with a focus on analytical instrumentation, environmental consulting, and facility construction services that enable environmental monitoring, risk assessment, and compliance enforcement. His work directly supports evidence-based environmental decision-making through strategic sourcing of technically complex and high-precision solutions. Young maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors including Pegasus Technical Services, Inc., Biospyder Technologies, Inc., Boh Environmental, L.L.C., Omega Painting & Contracting LLC, and Verina Consulting Group LLC. These partnerships reflect a balance between specialized technical service providers and construction contractors capable of delivering laboratory infrastructure and environmental remediation support. He fosters collaborative, transparent procurement practices, often engaging vendors early through sources sought notices to refine requirements and ensure market readiness. His procurement strategy prioritizes open competition, with 66.7% of acquisitions conducted without set-asides, while maintaining a meaningful commitment to small business participation—22.2% of awards are designated as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, and 11.1% are HUBZone set-asides. This reflects a balanced approach that promotes competition while actively supporting economically disadvantaged and geographically targeted small businesses. Young’s portfolio is heavily concentrated in NAICS 541620 (Environmental Consulting Services) and 334516 (Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing), reflecting a technical focus on laboratory analysis, environmental sampling, and instrumentation procurement. He also manages acquisitions under NAICS 236220 (Commercial Construction) and 541715 (Research and Development in Physical Sciences), demonstrating expertise in procuring both physical infrastructure and applied scientific services critical to EPA’s environmental protection mission.
