Brian A. Speer

Brian A. Speer serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from requirements definition through contract award and administration. He plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) while supporting mission-critical infrastructure and facility operations. His portfolio primarily encompasses construction, facilities support, and engineering services, with a focus on delivering timely, transparent, and competitively awarded contracts that align with agency objectives. Speer routinely handles both sealed bidding and negotiated procurements, emphasizing risk mitigation and contractor performance oversight. While specific contractor names are not available, Speer maintains a balanced procurement approach that engages both large prime contractors and small business subcontractors across multiple sectors. His working relationships reflect a preference for collaborative, performance-based contracting methods, including cost-reimbursement and fixed-price arrangements tailored to project complexity. He consistently emphasizes accountability and compliance, fostering vendor partnerships grounded in clear deliverables, quality standards, and timely contract modifications. Speer demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with an equal split between open competitions and Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. His procurement patterns reflect a deliberate focus on maximizing opportunities for small businesses, particularly those certified under the Small Business Administration’s programs. He avoids complex set-asides such as 8(a) or HUBZone in favor of broad-based small business eligibility, promoting competition and accessibility for a wide range of qualified vendors. His primary industry focus centers on NAICS 238220 (Plumbing, Heating, and Air-Conditioning Contractors) and 561210 (Facilities Support Services), each accounting for 30% of his activity. He also regularly procures industrial building construction (236210), electrical installation services (238210), and engineering services (541330). This technical specialization underscores his expertise in managing complex, multi-trade construction projects and integrated facility maintenance contracts, ensuring operational readiness and long-term infrastructure sustainability.
