Alexander Stutzman

Alexander Stutzman serves as a Small Business Specialist within the Federal Acquisition Service (FAS) at the General Services Administration, where he plays a pivotal role in advancing equitable access to federal contracting opportunities for small businesses. He supports the FAS mission by ensuring that socioeconomic programs are effectively integrated into the procurement lifecycle, particularly for professional and technical services critical to digital transformation and government modernization. Stutzman advises contracting teams on small business eligibility, set-aside strategies, and compliance with FAR Part 19, helping to streamline the acquisition of mission-critical services across federal agencies. While specific contractor names are not publicly identified in available data, Stutzman maintains consistent engagement with a broad ecosystem of small business vendors, particularly those certified under 8(a), HUBZone, and SDVOSB programs. His working relationships are characterized by proactive outreach, mentorship, and collaborative pre-solicitation planning to ensure small businesses are well-positioned to compete for complex, high-value procurements. He fosters transparent vendor engagement through industry days, outreach events, and tailored guidance on federal contracting requirements. Stutzman demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with a significant portion of his portfolio structured as set-aside opportunities. Although current data indicates a notable share of acquisitions are unrestricted, his strategic focus remains on expanding socioeconomic contracting pathways. He actively promotes the use of 8(a), HUBZone, and SDVOSB set-asides where appropriate, aligning procurement decisions with statutory mandates to enhance diversity in the federal supplier base. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541990 (All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services), encompassing a wide array of advisory, analytical, and technical support services. He also regularly procures custom computer programming services under NAICS 541511 and, to a lesser extent, electronics retail services under NAICS 449210. His expertise centers on acquiring mission-enabling professional services that support IT modernization, cybersecurity, and operational efficiency across federal agencies.
