Brian L. Garbert

Brian L. Garbert serves as an Acting Contracting Officer responsible for managing the acquisition lifecycle for a broad range of non-defense support services. In this role, he ensures compliance with federal procurement regulations while advancing mission-critical objectives through transparent, competitive contracting processes. He typically handles task and delivery order contracts, indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) vehicles, and service-based procurements focused on operational support functions. His work directly supports the efficient delivery of government services by securing reliable vendors capable of meeting stringent performance and compliance standards. Garbert maintains a neutral and competitive contracting environment, engaging with a diverse pool of vendors without reliance on any single contractor or preferred vendor base. His procurement approach emphasizes open competition, full and fair opportunity, and adherence to FAR guidelines, fostering relationships with both large service providers and small businesses capable of delivering high-quality support services. He evaluates proposals based on technical merit, past performance, and cost realism, ensuring value and accountability in every award. His set-aside preferences reflect a strong emphasis on open competition, with 100% of his acquisitions conducted without socioeconomic set-asides. While he does not prioritize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs, his contracting practices remain fully compliant with all applicable small business statutes, and he actively encourages participation from all eligible vendors through clear solicitation language and accessible procurement pathways. Garbert’s primary procurement focus lies in facility and business support services, with significant activity in NAICS 561720 (Janitorial Services), 561499 (Other Business Support Services), and 561790 (Other Services to Buildings and Dwellings). He also regularly procures custom computer programming services under NAICS 541511 and general government support under 921190. His expertise centers on service-based contracts requiring operational continuity, facility maintenance, and administrative support, demonstrating a deep understanding of the technical and logistical demands of non-core government operations.
