Bernard H. Staab

Bernard H. Staab serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from requirement validation through contract award and administration. He plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) while aligning procurements with mission-critical technology needs. His portfolio primarily consists of information technology services, with a strong emphasis on systems design, custom software development, and related IT support services. Staab’s work supports the agency’s digital modernization objectives by securing agile, scalable, and secure technical solutions from qualified vendors. While no specific contractor relationships are identified in the available data, Staab’s procurement patterns suggest consistent engagement with a broad base of IT service providers, including both large systems integrators and specialized small businesses. His approach emphasizes competitive bidding and performance-based contracting, fostering transparent and accountable vendor partnerships grounded in FAR-compliant evaluation criteria. He routinely collaborates with industry stakeholders to clarify requirements and ensure technical feasibility during the solicitation phase. Staab’s contracting activity reflects a strong preference for open competition, with 95.2% of awards issued under non-set-aside conditions. The remaining 4.8% are structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, indicating a measured but intentional commitment to small business participation. While no other socioeconomic categories such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB are prominently utilized, his adherence to small business set-asides demonstrates alignment with federal goals to expand opportunities for qualified small firms. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541512 (Computer Systems Design Services), which accounts for 76.2% of his activity, followed by NAICS 541511 (Custom Computer Programming Services) and NAICS 541519 (Other Computer Related Services).
