David T. Bartilson

David T. Bartilson serves as a secondary procurement professional supporting federal acquisition initiatives with a focus on strategic sourcing and socioeconomic compliance. Though not holding a formal contracting officer title, he plays a critical role in facilitating the planning, solicitation, and award phases of acquisitions, ensuring alignment with FAR guidelines and agency mission objectives. His responsibilities include supporting the development of solicitation documents, evaluating vendor responses, and coordinating with program offices to define technical requirements. He typically handles moderate-complexity procurements involving equipment manufacturing, facility services, and environmental remediation, often working within multi-disciplinary teams to deliver mission-critical goods and services. While no primary contractor relationships are identified, Bartilson’s procurement activity reflects a balanced engagement with both large-capacity manufacturers and small business vendors. His pattern of engagement suggests a preference for collaborative, competitive bidding environments that encourage broad market participation. He consistently supports open competitions while actively facilitating set-aside opportunities, demonstrating a nuanced understanding of vendor capabilities across market segments. Bartilson exhibits a strong commitment to small business utilization, with nearly 52% of his acquisitions structured as set-asides—primarily Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5 and HUBZone contracts. This reflects a deliberate strategy to foster economic opportunity in underserved communities and promote supplier diversity. His approach aligns with federal mandates to maximize small business participation without compromising competition or mission readiness. His procurement focus centers on NAICS codes related to commercial HVAC and refrigeration equipment manufacturing, hotel and lodging services, and environmental remediation. These categories indicate expertise in procuring climate control systems, facility operations support, and hazardous material cleanup services. His domain knowledge spans technical specifications for industrial equipment, service-level requirements for hospitality operations, and regulatory compliance in environmental contracting, positioning him as a reliable resource for mission-support acquisitions requiring both technical precision and socioeconomic diligence.
