Francene T. Bielik

Francene T. Bielik serves as a Contracting Officer responsible for managing complex procurements across a diverse range of technical and service-based requirements. She plays a critical role in executing the agency’s acquisition strategy by ensuring compliance with federal contracting regulations, including FAR Part 19 socioeconomic programs and competitive procedures under Part 15. Her portfolio primarily involves soliciting and awarding contracts for specialized maintenance, manufacturing, and technical support services, with a strong emphasis on achieving mission-critical outcomes through transparent, fair, and efficient procurement practices. While specific contractor names are not available, Bielik’s procurement patterns indicate consistent engagement with a broad base of vendors, including small businesses and general service providers. Her working relationships reflect a balanced approach—favoring competitive open market solicitations while actively incorporating small business set-asides to foster vendor diversity. She maintains a collaborative yet rigorous contracting process, ensuring compliance with performance standards and delivery timelines across multiple contract types, including fixed-price and cost-reimbursement instruments. Bielik demonstrates a clear preference for non-set-aside acquisitions, with 75% of her awards issued under full and open competition. However, she consistently allocates 25% of her contracting activity to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, reflecting a meaningful commitment to small business participation without relying on specialized socioeconomic programs like 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB. Her approach prioritizes broad-based small business access while maintaining procurement integrity and market competitiveness. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 811219 (Commercial and Industrial Machinery Repair and Maintenance), which accounts for over half of her activity, followed by specialized manufacturing in NAICS 336419 (Guided Missile and Space Vehicle Parts) and 339113 (Surgical Appliance and Supplies). This technical alignment reveals expertise in procuring precision-engineered components and maintenance services for industrial, aerospace, and medical equipment systems, positioning her as a subject-matter expert in high-reliability, low-volume manufacturing and technical service acquisition.
