Contracting Officer

Richard L. Hartmann serves as a Contracting Officer responsible for managing complex acquisitions within the federal healthcare sector, with a singular focus on general medical and surgical hospital services. He plays a critical role in ensuring the timely and compliant procurement of essential healthcare infrastructure, including facility operations, clinical support services, and related administrative functions. His acquisitions are governed by strict regulatory frameworks under the Federal Acquisition Regulation, emphasizing performance-based contracting, competitive procedures, and mission-critical service delivery. Hartmann’s portfolio centers on long-term, high-volume healthcare support contracts that require deep operational coordination between federal stakeholders and provider networks. While no specific contractor relationships are currently identifiable in the available data, Hartmann’s procurement pattern indicates a preference for open, unrestricted competition, consistent with his 100% non-set-aside award history. His contracting approach prioritizes vendor capability, past performance, and compliance with healthcare accreditation standards over socioeconomic classifications, resulting in a broad pool of qualified providers competing for awards without preferential treatment. Hartmann’s set-aside profile reflects a deliberate focus on full and open competition, with no use of 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or other socioeconomic set-asides in his awarded contracts. This underscores a procurement strategy aligned with mission necessity and operational scale, where competition is driven by technical merit and service capacity rather than socioeconomic objectives. His primary NAICS code focus—622110, General Medical and Surgical Hospitals—reveals deep specialization in procuring comprehensive hospital services, including inpatient care, emergency operations, diagnostic support, and facility management. Hartmann’s expertise lies in evaluating complex healthcare delivery models, ensuring contract performance aligns with clinical quality benchmarks and federal healthcare mandates. He is a subject matter expert in hospital-based service contracting, with a proven track record of managing large-scale, high-stakes healthcare acquisitions.
