Steven A. Berkeley Contract Specialist

Steven A. Berkeley serves as a Contracting Officer, where he is responsible for managing the acquisition process and ensuring regulatory compliance for his agency's procurement requirements. In this role, he oversees the solicitation and award process to secure essential goods and services that support the agency's operational mission. Regarding set-aside preferences, the procurement data indicates a primary reliance on full and open competitions, with no set-aside designations utilized for the majority of actions. However, there is a notable commitment to socioeconomic goals, specifically through the utilization of Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) set-asides, as well as general Total Small Business set-asides. Additionally, a small percentage of requirements are handled as sole-source acquisitions when only one responsible source can satisfy the requirement or provide specific brand name support. Mr. Berkeley’s procurement activity is heavily concentrated in the medical and scientific manufacturing sectors. His primary focus areas include the acquisition of surgical and medical instruments, electromedical and electrotherapeutic apparatus, and analytical laboratory instrumentation. His portfolio also encompasses the procurement of surgical appliances and supplies, as well as temporary help services, demonstrating a technical specialization in high-complexity medical hardware and laboratory equipment.
