Darrell E Bachman

Darrell E. Bachman serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from requirements definition and market research through solicitation, evaluation, award, and contract administration. He plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and advancing agency mission objectives through strategic sourcing. His procurement portfolio primarily encompasses professional, scientific, and technical services, with a strong emphasis on administrative management consulting, health insurance services, and general support services. Bachman’s approach emphasizes transparency, competition, and regulatory adherence, ensuring that procurements are conducted in accordance with federal procurement integrity standards. While specific contractor names are not available, Bachman maintains a broad network of vendor partnerships across professional services sectors, engaging both large primes and small business subcontractors to meet complex service delivery needs. His contracting patterns reflect a preference for open competition, with the majority of acquisitions conducted under non-set-aside authorities. He routinely coordinates with contracting officers, technical representatives, and legal counsel to ensure solicitations are well-structured and aligned with agency priorities. Bachman demonstrates a modest but intentional commitment to small business participation, with approximately 9.1% of his acquisitions structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. He does not routinely utilize specialized socioeconomic programs such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, instead prioritizing broad small business eligibility under the general small business category. This reflects a strategic focus on maximizing competition among qualified small firms without imposing additional socioeconomic constraints. His primary NAICS focus areas include 541990 (All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services), 524114 (Direct Health and Medical Insurance Carriers), and 561990 (All Other Support Services), indicating deep expertise in procuring advisory, operational support, and health insurance-related services. He frequently handles contracts requiring specialized knowledge in program management, administrative systems, and healthcare policy implementation, positioning him as a key resource for complex, non-clinical service acquisitions.
