Thomas J. McCafferty

Thomas J. McCafferty serves as a procurement specialist responsible for managing federal acquisitions focused on infrastructure support and workforce development services. Within the agency’s contracting framework, he oversees the planning, solicitation, and award of contracts aligned with mission-critical operational needs, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and socioeconomic goals. His portfolio primarily consists of construction-related services and professional training programs, reflecting a strategic emphasis on enhancing both physical infrastructure and human capital capacity across federal operations. McCafferty maintains a collaborative relationship with a diverse base of vendors, particularly those certified under small business programs. While no single contractor dominates his award portfolio, his contracting patterns consistently engage electrical contractors and training providers with proven performance histories. He prioritizes vendors capable of delivering technical precision in wiring and installation services alongside scalable, outcome-driven educational programs, fostering long-term partnerships grounded in quality, compliance, and timely delivery. A strong advocate for small business inclusion, McCafferty directs nearly two-thirds of his acquisitions toward Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, reflecting a deliberate commitment to expanding economic opportunity. His procurement strategy consistently leverages small business set-asides over unrestricted competitions, demonstrating a structured preference for fostering competition among small, disadvantaged, and locally-based firms. This pattern underscores his alignment with federal mandates to promote equitable access to government contracting opportunities. His primary technical focus lies in NAICS 238210, where he procures electrical installation and wiring services for federal facilities, requiring deep familiarity with NEC standards and safety protocols. Complementing this, he also manages acquisitions under NAICS 611430 for professional and management development training, ensuring federal personnel receive accredited, competency-based instruction. His expertise bridges the physical and human dimensions of federal operations, making him a key contributor to mission readiness through infrastructure resilience and workforce capability enhancement.
