Shawn M Curro

Shawn M. Curro serves as a Contract Negotiator responsible for executing complex procurement actions in support of federal acquisition objectives. In this role, he leads the negotiation, evaluation, and award of contracts for technical services and specialized manufacturing, ensuring compliance with FAR regulations and agency mission requirements. His work is central to securing mission-critical capabilities across aviation, engineering, and aerospace domains, often coordinating with program managers, legal counsel, and technical evaluators to align contract terms with operational needs and fiscal constraints. Curro engages with a diverse pool of vendors, primarily in engineering services, air transportation support, and aircraft component manufacturing. While no specific contractors are identified in current records, his procurement patterns suggest consistent collaboration with mid-tier and small business suppliers capable of delivering technical solutions under competitive bidding frameworks. He maintains a results-oriented negotiation style, emphasizing performance-based requirements, clear deliverables, and risk mitigation through well-structured contract clauses. His contracting approach reflects a strong preference for small business participation, with approximately one-third of his awards structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. This demonstrates a deliberate commitment to socioeconomic goals, prioritizing opportunities for small businesses without reliance on specialized set-aside programs such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB. His set-aside strategy balances competitive fairness with statutory mandates to foster broad-based small business engagement. Curro’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541330 (Engineering Services), 488190 (Other Support Activities for Air Transportation), and 336413 (Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing). He regularly procures technical consulting, maintenance support, and specialized aviation components, indicating deep familiarity with aerospace engineering standards, logistics integration, and manufacturing quality controls. His expertise ensures the acquisition of reliable, compliant, and operationally viable solutions within a highly regulated technical environment.
