Todd D. Castor

Todd D. Castor serves as a Purchasing Agent responsible for managing the acquisition of specialized industrial and manufacturing materials across a diverse range of technical domains. In this role, he executes procurements in full compliance with federal acquisition regulations, ensuring alignment with agency mission objectives and socioeconomic goals. His acquisitions primarily involve raw materials, fabricated components, and maintenance services critical to industrial operations, with a strong emphasis on sourcing from small business vendors. Castor’s work supports the procurement lifecycle from requirement validation through contract award and administration, ensuring timely delivery of mission-critical goods while maintaining fiscal accountability and regulatory integrity. While specific contractor names are not available, Castor maintains a procurement pattern heavily oriented toward small business participation, with nearly 90% of his awards structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This consistent preference reflects a deliberate strategy to foster economic opportunity and expand the supplier base among small, disadvantaged, and locally based firms. His contracting approach prioritizes inclusive competition, minimizing no-set-aside procurements and actively encouraging participation from firms certified under various socioeconomic programs, including HUBZone and SDVOSB, even when not formally mandated. Castor’s procurement focus is concentrated in key NAICS categories, with a dominant emphasis on Unlaminated Plastics Film and Sheet Manufacturing (326113), reflecting his expertise in sourcing specialized polymer materials for industrial applications. He also regularly acquires lumber, millwork, and wood panel products (423310), as well as goods and services tied to shipbuilding and repair (336611), industrial machinery (423830), and commercial/industrial equipment repair (811310). This technical breadth demonstrates deep familiarity with supply chains serving manufacturing, maritime, and heavy equipment sectors, positioning him as a specialized procurement professional with niche domain knowledge in industrial materials and maintenance services.
