Steven A. Winner

Steven A. Winner serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from requirements definition through contract award and administration. He plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) while advancing mission-critical procurement objectives. His portfolio primarily encompasses technical procurement actions involving electronic instrumentation, communications equipment, and precision measurement systems, often requiring specialized engineering knowledge and rigorous technical evaluation. Winner’s work supports the acquisition of high-precision devices used in environmental monitoring, industrial control, and signal analysis, requiring close collaboration with technical stakeholders and contracting officers to align solicitation language with operational needs. Winner cultivates strong partnerships with a diverse range of vendors, particularly those certified under socioeconomic programs, reflecting a deliberate focus on small business engagement. While specific contractor names are not disclosed, his contracting patterns indicate consistent collaboration with manufacturers of test and measurement equipment, wireless communications hardware, and related instrumentation suppliers. He emphasizes transparent, competitive processes and maintains structured vendor relationships grounded in FAR compliance, performance accountability, and timely contract modifications. A defining feature of Winner’s procurement strategy is his strong preference for small business set-asides, with 82.5% of his acquisitions designated as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a robust commitment to fostering economic opportunity and expanding the government’s supplier base among small businesses, including those certified as HUBZone, 8(a), or woman-owned. His consistent use of set-asides demonstrates a strategic alignment with federal socioeconomic goals and a proactive effort to reduce market barriers for underserved vendors. Winner’s technical expertise centers on NAICS categories related to instrumentation and communications equipment manufacturing, particularly 334515 (electrical signal measurement), 334220 (broadcast and wireless equipment), and 334519 (other measuring devices). He routinely procures precision instruments for calibration, industrial process control, and telecommunications infrastructure, requiring deep familiarity with technical specifications, performance standards, and compliance with industry certifications such as ISO 9001 and MIL-STD. His domain knowledge ensures acquisitions meet both operational requirements and regulatory benchmarks.
