Bradley Petrauskas

Bradley Petrauskas serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from requirements validation through contract award and administration. He plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and promoting efficient, transparent procurement practices. His portfolio primarily encompasses professional services and technical solutions, with a focus on research and development, engineering services, and specialized equipment procurement. Petrauskas works closely with program managers and technical evaluators to align contracting strategies with mission objectives, ensuring acquisitions support innovation and operational readiness. While no specific contractor relationships are currently identifiable in the data, Petrauskas engages with a diverse pool of vendors, including both large prime contractors and small businesses, fostering competitive bidding environments that emphasize technical capability and past performance. His procurement approach prioritizes fairness and market research, encouraging broad participation across the industrial base while maintaining rigorous compliance standards. Petrauskas demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with 25% of his awards designated as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, reflecting a deliberate effort to increase opportunities for small businesses. The remaining 75% of acquisitions are conducted without set-asides, indicating a balanced strategy that supports both broad competition and targeted small business inclusion. His pattern suggests a preference for open competition unless a small business capability gap justifies a set-aside. His primary NAICS focus areas include 511210 (Software Publishers), 541712 (Research and Development in Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences), 333316 (Industrial Machinery Manufacturing), and 541330 (Engineering Services). This technical emphasis reveals expertise in procuring advanced scientific instrumentation, R&D support, and specialized engineering solutions, positioning him at the intersection of innovation and acquisition policy.
