Thomas L. Steinman

Thomas L. Steinman serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from requirements development through contract award and administration. He plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with federal procurement regulations, particularly in the environmental remediation sector. His portfolio centers on complex service-based contracts requiring technical expertise in hazardous waste management, soil and groundwater restoration, and environmental site cleanup. Steinman works closely with program managers and environmental engineers to define solicitation requirements, evaluate technical proposals, and negotiate contract terms that align with agency missions and regulatory standards. While specific contractor names are not available, Steinman maintains a consistent engagement model with qualified environmental service providers, including both large prime contractors and small business subcontractors. His procurement approach emphasizes performance-based contracting and clear statement of work development to ensure accountability and outcomes-driven delivery. He fosters collaborative relationships with vendors who demonstrate technical capability, regulatory compliance, and a track record of safe, efficient remediation practices. Steinman exhibits a strong commitment to small business participation, with 37.5% of his awards designated as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to promote economic opportunity within the environmental services sector by reserving opportunities for small businesses that meet SBA size standards. He does not currently utilize other socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB, indicating a focused preference for broad small business eligibility under the general small business category. His procurement activity is exclusively concentrated in NAICS 562910 (Remediation Services), demonstrating deep specialization in environmental cleanup and restoration. Steinman’s expertise lies in procuring complex, regulated services involving hazardous material handling, remedial action planning, and long-term monitoring—domains requiring precise technical specifications and strict adherence to EPA and state environmental standards.
