Gerald L Guilbert

Gerald L. Guilbert serves as a Contracting Officer responsible for managing federal acquisitions across a diverse range of professional and technical services. In this role, he ensures compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) while executing contracts that support mission-critical operations. His procurement portfolio centers on service-based requirements, particularly in hospitality, information technology, and technical consulting domains. Guilbert plays a pivotal role in aligning acquisition strategy with agency objectives, ensuring timely, compliant, and cost-effective contract awards that promote efficiency and accountability in government spending. While specific contractor names are not available, Guilbert maintains active relationships with a broad spectrum of vendors, including small businesses and professional service firms delivering IT solutions, hospitality management, and specialized consulting services. His contracting approach emphasizes competitive bidding, clear performance metrics, and contractor accountability under fixed-price and time-and-materials arrangements. He fosters transparent vendor engagement through well-defined solicitation documents and post-award oversight to ensure deliverables meet technical and operational standards. Guilbert demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with 31.3% of his awards designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. His contracting patterns reflect a deliberate focus on leveraging small business capabilities, particularly in technical and professional service categories, without reliance on specialized socioeconomic programs such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB. This approach underscores a preference for broad-based small business inclusion rather than targeted socioeconomic set-asides. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 721110 (hotels and motels), 541519 (other computer-related services), and 541690 (other scientific and technical consulting services), with additional activity in custom programming and broader professional services. He routinely acquires IT infrastructure support, operational hospitality services, and expert advisory services, demonstrating deep familiarity with the technical and logistical demands of modern government service delivery.
