Steven A Fusco

Steven A. Fusco serves as a Contracting Officer within Region 1: Emergency Preparedness, under the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) of the Department of Homeland Security. In this role, he is responsible for managing the full lifecycle of procurement actions to support critical infrastructure resilience, emergency response capabilities, and facility operational continuity. His acquisitions focus on services and supplies essential to life-safety systems, facility maintenance, and emergency preparedness operations, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and mission-critical timelines. Fusco plays a pivotal role in aligning contracting strategies with regional emergency management priorities, prioritizing timely delivery of essential resources to sustain public safety infrastructure. While specific contractor names are not currently available, Fusco routinely engages with a diverse pool of vendors including janitorial service providers, electrical contractors, and manufacturers of facility-related equipment. His contracting patterns reflect a preference for established service providers with demonstrated capacity in high-reliability environments, particularly those capable of rapid mobilization during incident response scenarios. He fosters collaborative, performance-based vendor relationships grounded in strict compliance, quality assurance, and mission-aligned deliverables. Fusco demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with 40% of his acquisitions structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. His portfolio consistently prioritizes small business participation, with no current use of 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, indicating a broad-based emphasis on small business eligibility rather than targeted socioeconomic programs. This approach supports workforce development and regional economic resilience through inclusive contracting practices. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 561720 (Janitorial Services), 238210 (Electrical Contractors), and 454310 (Nonstore Retailers), reflecting a need for facility maintenance, wiring installation, and emergency supply logistics. He also procures specialized equipment under 334118 and 324121, indicating technical expertise in integrating peripheral systems and materials critical to emergency facility operations. Fusco’s domain knowledge spans facility infrastructure, life-safety compliance, and operational continuity planning within high-stakes public safety environments.
