Bart M Kenney

Bart M. Kenney serves as a Contract Specialist at the Defense Finance and Accounting Service (DFAS), where he plays a critical role in executing mission-critical acquisitions that support the Department of Defense’s financial modernization and audit readiness objectives. He is responsible for managing the full lifecycle of procurement actions, from requirements validation and market research to contract award and administration, with a primary focus on custom computer programming services. His work ensures the timely delivery of secure, scalable, and compliant financial systems that underpin DoD-wide accounting, payroll, and payment operations, directly contributing to the agency’s strategic goal of automating fiscal processes and enhancing data integrity. Kenney maintains consistent contracting relationships with a select group of vendors, including Soderberg Company Inc., Ecology Mir Group LLC, Bloomberg Industry Group, Inc., and Roche Diagnostics Corporation, all of which provide specialized software development, data analytics, and financial reporting solutions. His procurement approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, technical compliance, and long-term vendor collaboration, fostering partnerships with firms that have demonstrated expertise in integrating complex financial systems and maintaining federal audit standards. Notably, Kenney’s contracting portfolio reflects a 100% preference for no set-aside awards, indicating a focus on full and open competition rather than socioeconomic set-asides. This pattern suggests a prioritization of technical capability and system interoperability over socioeconomic criteria, aligning with DFAS’s need for high-reliability solutions from established industry providers. His procurement activity is exclusively concentrated in NAICS 541511 (Custom Computer Programming Services), underscoring his deep specialization in procuring bespoke software development, system integration, and automated financial reporting tools. He routinely supports acquisitions for mission-critical applications that modernize legacy financial infrastructure, ensuring seamless compliance with federal accounting standards and DoD-wide audit requirements.
