Von L. Vaughan

Von L. Vaughan serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from requirements definition through contract award and administration. With a focus on technical and industrial services, Vaughan ensures compliance with FAR regulations while advancing mission-critical procurement objectives. Their portfolio primarily encompasses maintenance, repair, and specialized support services, alongside high-precision manufacturing contracts in defense and aerospace sectors. Vaughan plays a pivotal role in translating agency needs into enforceable contractual instruments, ensuring timely delivery of complex technical solutions while maintaining rigorous oversight of contractor performance and fiscal accountability. While specific contractor names are not publicly disclosed, Vaughan consistently engages with a diverse pool of vendors capable of delivering specialized technical services and precision-manufactured components. Their working relationships are characterized by a preference for established firms with demonstrated capability in niche industrial domains, particularly those with experience in explosives handling, guided missile systems, and mission-critical support services. Vendor partnerships are typically formed through competitive sealed bidding or negotiated procurements, with an emphasis on technical merit, past performance, and regulatory compliance. Vaughan’s set-aside preferences reflect a strong orientation toward open competition, with 97.9% of acquisitions conducted without socioeconomic set-asides. However, a measured 2.1% of awards are reserved under Total Small Business Set-Aside authority (FAR 19.5), indicating a targeted but limited commitment to small business participation. This pattern suggests a procurement strategy prioritizing technical capability and scale over socioeconomic preferences, while still maintaining statutory compliance for eligible small business opportunities. The majority of Vaughan’s acquisitions fall under NAICS 811219 (Other Personal and Household Goods Repair and Maintenance), reflecting a heavy focus on industrial maintenance and technical support services. Additional emphasis is placed on explosives manufacturing (325920) and guided missile systems manufacturing (336414 and 336419), demonstrating deep expertise in defense-related supply chains. Support services under NAICS 561990 further underscore a portfolio grounded in specialized, mission-essential logistics and technical operations.
