Steven M. Flores

Steven M. Flores serves as a Contracts Administrator responsible for managing the full lifecycle of procurement actions, from solicitation through contract award and administration. He plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations while advancing the agency’s mission through timely and efficient contracting. His portfolio primarily encompasses construction-related services and specialized manufacturing, with a focus on infrastructure support and utility systems. Flores handles competitive sealed bidding and negotiated acquisitions under FAR Part 14 and Part 15, often coordinating with technical evaluators and program managers to align procurement outcomes with operational needs. While specific contractor names are not available, Flores maintains relationships with a broad spectrum of vendors operating in the construction and electrical manufacturing sectors. His contracting patterns reflect a preference for established firms with proven technical capability in site development, building systems, and power equipment fabrication. He engages both large-capacity contractors and small business subcontractors, fostering a competitive environment that emphasizes performance, compliance, and schedule adherence. Flores consistently awards contracts under the “No Set-Aside” category, indicating a preference for open competition without socioeconomic targeting. This approach suggests a focus on technical merit and cost-effectiveness rather than mandated set-asides for 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB firms. While small business participation is not formally prioritized in his award patterns, he may still facilitate subcontracting opportunities as part of prime contractor obligations. His procurement focus is evenly distributed across four key NAICS codes: Other Foundation, Structure, and Building Exterior Contractors; Plumbing, Heating, and Air-Conditioning Contractors; Site Preparation Contractors; and Power, Distribution, and Specialty Transformer Manufacturing. This reflects deep expertise in civil infrastructure, mechanical systems, and electrical distribution equipment, positioning him as a specialist in mission-critical construction and utility-scale procurement.
