Tony Dzhordzhalyan

Gayk Dzhordzhalyan serves as a Contracting Officer responsible for managing complex acquisition programs centered on scientific and engineering research and development. In this role, he executes full lifecycle procurement activities—from market research and solicitation development to contract award and administration—ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and mission-driven outcomes. His portfolio primarily supports technical initiatives in the physical, engineering, and life sciences, making him a key liaison between federal research objectives and the contractor community. He specializes in non-commercial, performance-based contracts requiring rigorous technical evaluation and risk mitigation strategies. Dzhordzhalyan engages with a broad spectrum of contractors, including research institutions, engineering firms, and specialized service providers with expertise in laboratory operations, data analysis, and experimental design. While no single contractor dominates his portfolio, he consistently works with vendors capable of delivering high-complexity, R&D-driven solutions under cost-reimbursement and time-and-materials structures. His procurement approach emphasizes technical capability, past performance, and innovation, fostering long-term partnerships with organizations that demonstrate domain-specific proficiency and adaptability in evolving scientific environments. His contracting patterns reflect a strong preference for unrestricted competition, with 100% of his awards issued under the “No Set-Aside” category. This indicates a strategic focus on maximizing competition based on technical merit rather than socioeconomic preferences, aligning with mission-critical requirements that prioritize expertise over certification-based targeting. While he does not routinely utilize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, his process remains fully compliant with small business goals and includes opportunities for all qualified firms to compete on equal footing. Dzhordzhalyan’s primary focus is NAICS 541715—Research and Development in the Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences. He procures services including experimental testing, prototype development, computational modeling, and scientific instrumentation support. His technical domain expertise spans laboratory automation, materials science, environmental analysis, and engineering simulation, requiring deep understanding of scientific methodologies and regulatory standards governing federally funded R&D.
