Steve Parker

Steven E. Parker serves as an Agreement Officer responsible for managing non-procurement instruments such as interagency agreements, memoranda of understanding, and cooperative agreements to fulfill mission-critical operational needs. His role supports the agency’s broader acquisition strategy by facilitating collaborative resource sharing and service delivery through flexible contractual mechanisms, often bypassing traditional procurement pathways. He routinely handles complex, multi-year agreements requiring cross-functional coordination and compliance with federal cost principles and grant regulations, with a focus on administrative, real estate, and technical support services. While specific contractor names are not available, Parker maintains a broad network of vendors providing facility management, administrative support, and scientific research services. His working relationships emphasize performance-based outcomes and long-term service continuity, often engaging firms with proven capacity in niche technical domains. He prioritizes vendors capable of delivering scalable, compliant solutions with minimal oversight, fostering partnerships grounded in transparency and accountability under federal agreement frameworks. Parker demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with 80% of his agreements awarded without set-aside status and 20% competitively set aside for 8(a) participants. This pattern reflects a balanced approach—leveraging the broader market for efficiency while intentionally creating pathways for small, disadvantaged businesses to contribute to mission outcomes. His contracting behavior aligns with federal goals to expand small business participation without compromising operational flexibility or mission readiness. His primary procurement focus centers on NAICS 531120 (lessors of nonresidential buildings) and 561110 (office administrative services), indicating substantial activity in facility leasing and back-office support. He also regularly engages firms in NAICS 541715 (scientific R&D) and 541330 (engineering services), demonstrating expertise in procuring technical consulting, laboratory support, and infrastructure engineering. This blend of real estate, administrative, and technical contracting underscores his specialization in enabling mission-critical operations through integrated, non-traditional acquisition tools.
