David L Staudt

David L. Staudt serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from requirements definition through contract award and administration. He plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) while supporting mission-critical procurement needs across technical and healthcare services. His portfolio primarily consists of professional services contracts, with a focus on consulting, research, and health insurance operations. Staudt ensures acquisitions align with agency objectives while maintaining rigorous standards for competition, transparency, and regulatory adherence. While specific contractor names are not available, Staudt’s contracting patterns reflect a broad engagement with both large and small vendors delivering specialized services. He routinely works with firms providing administrative management consulting, scientific research, and health insurance carrier services, fostering competitive bidding environments that prioritize technical capability and past performance. His approach emphasizes fair and open competition, with a preference for performance-based contracting and clear statement of work development. Staudt demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with 12.5% of his awards designated as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. Although the majority of his acquisitions are unrestricted, his consistent use of small business set-asides signals a deliberate effort to expand opportunities for qualified small businesses, particularly in technical and professional service sectors. He does not appear to prioritize other socioeconomic categories such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB, focusing instead on broad small business eligibility. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 524114 (Direct Health and Medical Insurance Carriers), 541690 (Other Scientific and Technical Consulting Services), and 541712 (Research and Development in the Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences), each representing approximately 28.6% of his activity. He also regularly procures administrative management consulting services under NAICS 541611. These categories reflect a deep specialization in health policy support, technical advisory services, and life sciences R&D, positioning him as a key procurement professional in complex, knowledge-based service acquisitions.
