Cordell M Bailey

Cordell M. Bailey serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from requirements development and market research to contract award and administration. He plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) while advancing mission-critical procurement objectives. His portfolio primarily encompasses construction, health services, and professional support contracts, with a focus on delivering cost-effective, compliant solutions that meet agency operational needs. Bailey works closely with program managers, legal counsel, and technical evaluators to structure solicitations that promote competition and accountability. While specific contractor names are not available, Bailey consistently engages with a diverse pool of vendors, including small businesses and general contractors, to fulfill complex service and construction requirements. His procurement patterns reflect a preference for open competition, yet he actively facilitates opportunities for qualified small businesses through targeted set-asides. He maintains collaborative relationships with vendors who demonstrate technical competence, past performance, and regulatory compliance, ensuring reliable contract execution and risk mitigation. Bailey demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with 31.8% of his awards designated as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, indicating a deliberate emphasis on fostering small business participation. He does not rely heavily on specialized set-aside programs such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB, but rather prioritizes broad-based small business eligibility, aligning with agency goals to expand economic opportunity across the small business community. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 237110 (Water and Sewer Line and Related Structures Construction), reflecting significant expertise in infrastructure projects, followed by NAICS 621999 and 621420, which indicate substantial involvement in ambulatory and outpatient health services. He also regularly procures professional and support services under NAICS 541990 and 561990, demonstrating a well-rounded understanding of technical, administrative, and healthcare support domains.
