Casey Gilbertz

Casey Gilbertz serves as a Product Manager responsible for defining and overseeing the acquisition of professional, scientific, and technical services to support mission-critical government operations. In this role, Gilbertz bridges technical requirements with procurement strategy, ensuring that contract vehicles align with evolving operational needs. They lead the end-to-end acquisition lifecycle—from market research and requirement development to vendor selection and contract execution—focusing on outcomes-driven solutions rather than prescriptive specifications. Their work directly supports the agency’s mission to leverage expert services in areas requiring specialized knowledge, innovation, and adaptability. Gilbertz cultivates collaborative relationships with a broad spectrum of service providers, including established professional services firms and agile technology consultants. While no single contractor dominates their portfolio, they consistently engage vendors with demonstrated expertise in complex, non-standardized service delivery. Their contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, clear statement of work development, and robust evaluation criteria that prioritize technical capability, past performance, and operational readiness over price alone. Gilbertz’s procurement patterns reflect a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of acquisitions conducted under non-set-aside authorities. This indicates a strategic focus on maximizing competition and access to the broadest possible talent pool, rather than targeting specific socioeconomic categories. While small business participation is not formally prioritized through set-asides, the nature of the services procured often naturally attracts capable small and mid-sized firms due to the specialized, knowledge-intensive nature of the work. The primary NAICS code under Gilbertz’s purview is 541990, encompassing all other professional, scientific, and technical services. This includes high-demand areas such as systems engineering, data analytics, policy research, technical advisory services, and specialized consulting. Their expertise lies in procuring complex, non-commodity services requiring deep domain knowledge, adaptive methodologies, and cross-functional collaboration—ensuring the agency accesses the right expertise at the right time to meet evolving mission demands.
