Adam Gautie

Adam Gautie serves as a key procurement lead for the Leominster Housing Authority, overseeing the acquisition of critical infrastructure services essential to maintaining safe, code-compliant public housing. In his role, he manages the full lifecycle of contracts related to building maintenance, repair, and modernization, ensuring alignment with federal housing quality standards and energy efficiency goals. His acquisitions focus on skilled trades and facility services that directly support the agency’s mission of preserving aging residential stock while enhancing resident safety and livability. Gautie’s procurement activities are instrumental in executing long-term capital improvement plans and responding to urgent habitability needs across Leominster’s public housing portfolio. Gautie maintains consistent working relationships with local and regional contractors specializing in residential building systems, including electrical, roofing, painting, and pest control services. He engages with a stable network of licensed, insured, and experienced trade contractors who understand the unique constraints of public housing environments, such as occupied-unit access and phased work schedules. His contracting approach emphasizes reliability, compliance, and timely performance over competitive bidding alone, fostering long-term vendor partnerships built on accountability and quality assurance. Gautie’s procurement patterns reflect a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of acquisitions conducted without set-aside designations. While he does not prioritize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, his process remains transparent and accessible to all qualified vendors, ensuring broad market participation. His focus is on selecting the most technically capable and cost-effective providers, regardless of socioeconomic classification, while still adhering to all federal and state procurement regulations. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 238210 (electrical installation), 238320 (painting and wall covering), 238160 (roofing), and 561710 (pest control), with additional activity in commercial building construction (236220). These categories reflect his deep expertise in residential building systems maintenance, where he ensures compliance with HUD standards, integrates energy-efficient upgrades, and prioritizes preventative maintenance strategies to extend asset life and reduce long-term operational costs.
