Benjamin F Collins III

Benjamin F. Collins serves as a Contract Specialist at the Defense Finance and Accounting Service (DFAS), where he plays a pivotal role in executing procurement actions that support the agency’s mission of delivering secure, audit-ready financial and accounting services across the Department of Defense. He manages the full lifecycle of acquisition activities—from market research and solicitation development to contract award and administration—focusing primarily on professional services and operational support contracts. His work ensures fiscal compliance, system modernization, and the efficient delivery of financial infrastructure critical to military and civilian payroll, travel, and accounting operations. Collins maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of contractors, including Soderberg Company Inc., Ecology Mir Group LLC, Bloomberg Industry Group, Inc., and Roche Diagnostics Corporation Indianapolis. These partnerships reflect a focus on specialized services such as regulatory compliance reporting, financial data analytics, and operational support systems. His contracting patterns indicate a preference for established vendors with proven expertise in complex federal financial environments, often requiring deep domain knowledge and robust compliance frameworks. His procurement activity is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic alignment with DFAS’s operational scale and the need for proven, scalable solutions rather than socioeconomic set-asides. While small business participation is not a primary mechanism in his portfolio, his approach prioritizes capability, reliability, and audit readiness over socioeconomic preferences. The majority of his acquisitions fall under NAICS 624190 (Other Individual and Family Services), indicating a strong focus on administrative, case management, and support services for personnel financial systems. Additional activity in 541519 (Other Computer Related Services) and 541612 (Human Resources Consulting Services) underscores his expertise in procuring IT-enabled financial operations and workforce support solutions. His technical domain centers on automating financial compliance, enhancing audit trails, and sustaining secure, scalable financial infrastructure for DoD-wide implementation.
