Butterfield serves as a Contract Administrator responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from requirement validation through contract award and administration. He plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and supports the agency’s mission by facilitating timely, transparent, and efficient procurement of essential services. His portfolio primarily includes non-defense, administrative, and technical support contracts, with a focus on professional services and specialized equipment procurement. Butterfield ensures adherence to statutory requirements while maintaining rigorous oversight of contract performance and vendor accountability. While specific contractor names are not available, Butterfield maintains consistent working relationships with a broad spectrum of vendors, including small businesses and general service providers across multiple sectors. His procurement approach emphasizes competitive solicitation practices and structured evaluation criteria to ensure fair and open competition. He routinely engages with vendors through sealed bidding and negotiated acquisitions, fostering collaborative relationships grounded in regulatory compliance and performance-based outcomes. Butterfield demonstrates a strong preference for open competition, with 86.8% of his awards issued without set-aside restrictions. However, he actively supports small business participation, with 13.2% of his contracts awarded under Total Small Business Set-Asides pursuant to FAR 19.5. His contracting patterns reflect a balanced commitment to socioeconomic goals, consistently leveraging small business programs without favoring specific categories such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB, thereby promoting broad-based economic opportunity.
