Adam D. Speert

Adam D. Speert serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of complex procurement actions within a federal acquisition environment. He specializes in soliciting, evaluating, and awarding contracts for specialized industrial and manufacturing goods, ensuring compliance with FAR regulations and agency mission objectives. His work supports critical infrastructure and defense-related supply chains through competitive, transparent, and legally sound contracting processes. Speert typically handles sealed bids and negotiated procurements for high-precision fabricated metal components, motor vehicle parts, and aerospace subsystems, often requiring technical evaluation and source selection under FAR Part 15. Speert cultivates relationships with a diverse base of manufacturers and suppliers, primarily medium- and small-scale industrial firms with expertise in metal fabrication, switchgear assembly, and auxiliary aircraft equipment production. He engages vendors through competitive solicitation methods, including RFQs and RFPs, emphasizing technical capability, past performance, and regulatory compliance. While no single contractor dominates his portfolio, his contracting patterns reflect consistent engagement with specialized manufacturers capable of meeting stringent quality and delivery standards for mission-critical components. His procurement strategy prioritizes open competition, with 85.5% of awards issued without set-aside restrictions. Nevertheless, he demonstrates a meaningful commitment to small business participation, consistently directing 13.7% of awards to total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, and allocating 0.8% to HUBZone-certified firms. This balanced approach ensures market access for disadvantaged businesses while maintaining operational readiness through broad supplier competition. Speert’s technical focus centers on NAICS codes related to fabricated metal products, including 332996 (fabricated pipe and fittings), 336390 (other motor vehicle parts), 336413 (aircraft auxiliary equipment), and 335313 (switchgear manufacturing). He routinely procures engineered components requiring precision machining, material certification, and compliance with military or industry specifications, reflecting deep familiarity with industrial supply chains and technical procurement requirements in advanced manufacturing sectors.
