Stephen F. Glass

Stephen F. Glass serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of procurement actions, from requirements definition and market research to contract award and administration. His role is central to ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and advancing the agency’s mission through efficient, transparent, and legally sound contracting practices. He primarily handles service-based acquisitions under the Professional Organizations NAICS code, focusing on administrative, operational, and professional support services that enable organizational effectiveness. His work ensures that procurements align with strategic objectives while maintaining rigorous adherence to FAR guidelines and ethical standards. While no specific contractor relationships are identified in available data, Mr. Glass engages with a broad spectrum of vendors offering professional services within the scope of NAICS 813920, including trade associations, lobbying firms, advocacy organizations, and membership-based professional societies. His contracting patterns reflect a preference for competitive, open-market solicitations, with a balanced approach to vendor engagement that prioritizes capability, past performance, and regulatory compliance over sole-source or limited competition mechanisms. Mr. Glass demonstrates a clear commitment to small business participation, with approximately 28.6% of his acquisitions structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to foster economic opportunity and enhance competition by reserving eligible contracts for small businesses, though he does not currently utilize specialized set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs. His approach supports broader socioeconomic goals while maintaining a focus on value and performance. His procurement expertise is narrowly concentrated in NAICS 813920, which encompasses professional organizations providing advocacy, policy development, networking, and member services. He specializes in acquiring non-personal services related to organizational management, stakeholder engagement, and professional development support, demonstrating deep familiarity with the unique operational needs and compliance considerations of this sector.
