Bill L Kaufman

Bill L. Kaufman serves as a Contracting Officer responsible for managing complex procurement actions across technical and engineering domains. He plays a critical role in executing the agency’s acquisition strategy by ensuring compliance with federal contracting regulations, including FAR and socioeconomics requirements. His portfolio primarily encompasses professional services and technology-related procurements, with a strong emphasis on engineering, communications equipment, and custom software development. Kaufman ensures acquisitions are competitively sourced, properly documented, and aligned with mission-critical needs, often leveraging full and open competition while strategically applying set-asides where appropriate. Kaufman maintains a broad network of vendor relationships, engaging both large prime contractors and small businesses across multiple technical sectors. While no single contractor dominates his award profile, he consistently works with firms capable of delivering high-complexity engineering solutions, telecommunications hardware, and bespoke computer programming services. His contracting approach emphasizes performance-based acquisition methods, rigorous source selection, and clear statement of work development to ensure accountability and outcomes-driven delivery. His set-aside preferences reflect a strong preference for full and open competition, with 92.7% of awards issued without set-aside designation. Nevertheless, he actively supports small business participation, with nearly 7.3% of awards directed toward small business programs, including 4.9% under Total Small Business Set-Asides and 2.4% under HUBZone qualifications. This demonstrates a measured, compliance-driven commitment to socioeconomic goals without compromising competitive integrity. Kaufman’s procurement focus centers on NAICS codes 541330 (Engineering Services), 334290 (Other Communications Equipment Manufacturing), 511210 (Publishing Software), and 541511 (Custom Computer Programming Services). He routinely procures technical services involving systems integration, telecommunications infrastructure, and software development solutions, indicating deep expertise in defense-adjacent and mission-critical technology domains. His work supports advanced communications, data systems, and engineering modernization initiatives across federal operations.
