Charles Reimer

Charles Reimer serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions within the medical and surgical equipment sector. He ensures compliance with FAR regulations while executing competitive procurements that align with agency mission needs. His portfolio primarily consists of complex solicitations for diagnostic, therapeutic, and surgical devices, as well as related medical supplies and wholesale distribution services. Reimer’s expertise lies in structuring solicitations that balance technical requirements with acquisition efficiency, ensuring timely delivery of critical healthcare products to support clinical operations. Reimer maintains a broad network of vendors across the medical device supply chain, engaging with manufacturers, merchant wholesalers, and specialty distributors. His contracting patterns reflect a preference for open competition, with limited reliance on sole-source or single-vendor arrangements. He routinely collaborates with both large-scale producers and niche suppliers capable of meeting stringent FDA-regulated quality standards, fostering relationships grounded in performance accountability and regulatory compliance. While the vast majority of his acquisitions—95.1%—are conducted without set-asides, Reimer demonstrates a consistent, though modest, commitment to small business participation, with 4.9% of awards designated as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. He actively evaluates small business capabilities during market research and encourages participation through simplified acquisition procedures and clear solicitation language, though he does not prioritize specific socioeconomic categories such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB. Reimer’s procurement focus is heavily concentrated in NAICS 339112 (Surgical and Medical Instrument Manufacturing), with significant activity also in medical equipment wholesale (423450), ophthalmic goods (339115), and surgical appliance manufacturing (339113). His domain expertise spans precision instruments, sterilizable devices, and diagnostic equipment, requiring deep familiarity with FDA classification systems, ISO 13485 standards, and supply chain traceability requirements for Class II medical devices.
