Ervin R. Spivey

Ervin R. Spivey serves as Supervisory Contracting Officer within the 693JK4 Ost office of the Department of Transportation, where he oversees the acquisition of mission-critical administrative, security, and IT infrastructure services supporting the Secretary’s office and federal transportation leadership. In this role, he ensures compliance with federal procurement regulations while aligning contract strategies with the agency’s priorities in cybersecurity modernization, physical security enhancements, and operational efficiency. His portfolio primarily encompasses professional services, including management consulting, security system integration, and technical support for high-level government operations, with a strong emphasis on risk mitigation and mission continuity. Mr. Spivey cultivates collaborative relationships with a diverse range of vendors, including management consulting firms, IT infrastructure providers, and specialized security contractors. While no single contractor dominates his portfolio, he consistently engages both large professional services firms and small business concerns, fostering competitive bidding environments that promote innovation and accountability. His working relationships reflect a balanced approach—prioritizing performance-based outcomes, clear statement of work development, and rigorous source selection procedures under FAR Part 15. His procurement patterns demonstrate a strong commitment to socioeconomic goals, with nearly one-third of awards designated as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5 and 20 percent awarded through 8(a) competed competitions. This reflects a deliberate strategy to expand opportunities for disadvantaged businesses while maintaining high standards of service delivery. He actively leverages set-aside authorities to enhance diversity in the vendor base and strengthen the agency’s small business participation metrics. Mr. Spivey’s primary acquisition focus lies in NAICS 541611 (Administrative Management and General Management Consulting Services), indicating a heavy reliance on strategic advisory and operational support services. He also procures specialized services in charter transportation, medical laboratory support, and international affairs coordination, reflecting the multifaceted nature of headquarters operations. His technical expertise spans procurement of integrated security systems, administrative process optimization, and mission-enabling services critical to federal leadership functions.
