Vincent Culliver

Vincent E. Culliver serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from requirement validation and market research through solicitation, evaluation, award, and contract administration. He plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and supports the agency’s mission by delivering essential professional and technical services. His portfolio primarily encompasses engineering services, advanced system manufacturing, and specialized technical consulting, requiring a nuanced understanding of complex technical specifications and performance-based contracting methodologies. Culliver routinely handles competitive procurements under both full and open competition and small business set-asides, ensuring transparency, fairness, and regulatory adherence across all stages of acquisition. While specific contractor names are not available, Culliver’s procurement patterns reflect consistent engagement with a diverse pool of vendors, including both large prime contractors and small businesses capable of delivering high-precision engineering and technical solutions. His working relationships are characterized by collaboration with firms possessing specialized technical certifications and demonstrated capability in aerospace, navigation, and professional services domains. He emphasizes competitive fairness and vendor responsiveness, fostering an environment where qualified firms—regardless of size—can effectively compete for contract opportunities. Culliver demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with approximately one-third of his acquisitions structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. His approach aligns with federal socioeconomic goals, prioritizing small business inclusion without reliance on more specialized set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB. This balanced strategy supports broad-based economic opportunity while maintaining competition and value for the government. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541330 (Engineering Services), 334511 (Aeronautical and Nautical System Manufacturing), and 541990 (Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services). He routinely acquires technical systems, instrumentation, and specialized consulting services requiring advanced engineering expertise, particularly in defense, aerospace, and scientific instrumentation domains. His technical acumen ensures that requirements are clearly defined and aligned with mission-critical operational needs.
