Carl J. Schneider

Carl J. Schneider serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, ensuring compliance with FAR regulations and promoting efficient, transparent procurement practices. He specializes in securing professional services and technical solutions that support mission-critical government operations, with a focus on consulting, engineering, and scientific research domains. His role involves developing solicitation documents, evaluating proposals, conducting source selection, and administering contracts to meet agency objectives while upholding integrity and accountability in all procurement actions. While specific contractor names are not available, Schneider maintains a broad network of vendor partnerships across professional services and aerospace sectors, engaging both large primes and small business subcontractors to deliver complex technical solutions. His contracting patterns reflect a preference for performance-based, outcome-driven contracts, often utilizing firm-fixed-price and time-and-materials mechanisms to align vendor incentives with mission outcomes. He collaborates closely with program managers and technical evaluators to ensure requirements are clearly defined and competitively sourced. Schneider demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with approximately 23.1% of his awards structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. His procurement strategy consistently prioritizes opportunities for small businesses, aligning with federal socioeconomic goals, though the majority of his portfolio remains open to full and open competition. He does not appear to rely heavily on specialized set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB, indicating a balanced approach focused on broad small business inclusion rather than targeted socioeconomic programs. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541690 (Other Scientific and Technical Consulting Services) and 541614 (Process, Physical Distribution, and Logistics Consulting Services), reflecting expertise in operational efficiency, systems analysis, and supply chain optimization. He also procures specialized services in physical and engineering research (541712) and aircraft manufacturing (336411), demonstrating technical fluency in aerospace and defense-related domains. Schneider’s work centers on acquiring high-value professional services that enable evidence-based decision-making and operational innovation across federal missions.
