Andrew B Feutz

Andrew B. Feutz serves as a Contracting Officer responsible for managing federal acquisitions within the aviation and education services sectors. He plays a pivotal role in executing the agency’s procurement mission by ensuring compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), fostering competitive bidding, and delivering mission-critical services through transparent, accountable contracting practices. His portfolio primarily consists of service-based contracts for flight training, air transportation support, and specialized instructional programs, requiring deep familiarity with performance-based acquisition methods and outcome-driven contract structures. Feutz maintains a broad network of vendors specializing in aviation training and operational support services. While no single contractor dominates his award history, he routinely engages with firms offering pilot instruction, aircraft maintenance support, and nonscheduled air transportation solutions. His contracting approach emphasizes fair competition and vendor responsiveness, encouraging both large-capacity service providers and niche specialists to participate in solicitation processes. He prioritizes clear performance metrics and post-award oversight to ensure contract fulfillment aligns with operational needs. Feutz demonstrates a strong preference for open competition, with 92.3% of his awards issued without set-aside restrictions. However, he consistently allocates 7.7% of his contracting activity to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, reflecting a deliberate commitment to expanding opportunities for small businesses in the aviation training and support ecosystem. Though he does not frequently utilize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, his reliance on small business set-asides underscores a balanced approach to socioeconomic goals within a predominantly open competition framework. His primary procurement focus centers on NAICS 611512 (Flight Training), which accounts for over half of his activity, followed by 488190 (Other Support Activities for Air Transportation), 481219 (Other Nonscheduled Air Transportation), and 611699 (All Other Miscellaneous Schools and Instruction). He specializes in procuring pilot certification programs, flight simulator services, air traffic support, and customized aviation curriculum development, demonstrating deep technical expertise in aviation education and operational readiness services.
