Brett D. Simpson

Brett D. Simpson serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from requirements definition and market research to contract award and administration. He plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and supports the agency’s mission by delivering mission-critical goods and services through transparent, competitive processes. His portfolio primarily encompasses technical and engineering services, with a focus on industrial control systems, computer systems design, and specialized manufacturing. Simpson ensures acquisitions align with federal procurement policy while maintaining rigorous oversight to safeguard taxpayer interests and promote fair competition. While specific contractor names are not available, Simpson maintains a broad network of vendors across technical and manufacturing sectors, engaging both large prime contractors and small business subcontractors. His contracting patterns reflect a preference for open competition, with the majority of acquisitions conducted under full and open procedures. He actively fosters collaborative vendor relationships, encouraging responsiveness, technical compliance, and performance accountability through clear solicitation language and structured evaluation criteria. Simpson demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with nearly one in five of his acquisitions set aside for total small businesses under FAR 19.5. Although he does not routinely utilize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, his consistent use of small business set-asides reflects a deliberate strategy to expand market access for qualified small firms. His socioeconomic contracting approach prioritizes equitable opportunity without compromising technical rigor or mission needs. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541330 (Engineering Services), 541512 (Computer Systems Design Services), and 334513 (Industrial Measurement and Control Instrument Manufacturing), each representing 20% of his activity. He also regularly procures specialized industrial equipment under 333249 and tire manufacturing under 326211. Simpson’s expertise spans complex technical domains including process control systems, embedded instrumentation, and integrated IT infrastructure, positioning him as a knowledgeable steward of mission-enabling acquisitions in high-precision industrial and engineering sectors.
