Berta Alldredge

Berta L. Biltz serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from requirement validation and market research to contract award and administration. She plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and supports the agency’s mission by delivering essential goods and services through transparent, competitive processes. Her portfolio primarily consists of complex procurements in pharmaceutical manufacturing, analytical instrumentation, and specialized technical services, requiring deep subject matter expertise and careful evaluation of technical proposals and performance metrics. While specific contractor names are not available, Biltz routinely engages with a diverse pool of vendors, including large industrial manufacturers, niche technology providers, and small businesses certified under federal socioeconomic programs. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for open competition, with the majority of awards issued under unrestricted solicitation, indicating a focus on value-driven outcomes rather than exclusive set-asides. She maintains professional, arms-length relationships with contractors, emphasizing accountability, performance-based contracting, and contract closeout rigor. Biltz demonstrates moderate but intentional support for small business participation, with approximately 10.5% of her awards designated as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, and a smaller but consistent allocation to 8(a) competed contracts and HUBZone firms. Her socioeconomic contracting approach aligns with federal goals while maintaining competitive integrity, ensuring that small business opportunities are pursued where market conditions and technical requirements permit. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 325412 (Pharmaceutical Preparation Manufacturing), reflecting expertise in regulated, quality-controlled supply chains. She also frequently procures analytical laboratory instruments (334516), refrigerated logistics services (493120), and computing infrastructure solutions (518210), indicating a technical domain spanning life sciences, data systems, and cold-chain logistics. Her work demands familiarity with GxP, FDA compliance, and cybersecurity standards for data services, positioning her as a specialist in mission-critical, high-compliance acquisitions.
