Gordon D Heitz

Gordon D. Heitz serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from requirement analysis and market research to contract award and administration. He plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and supports the agency’s mission by delivering essential goods and services through transparent, competitive procurement processes. His portfolio primarily encompasses complex procurements in manufacturing, infrastructure support, and logistics, with a strong emphasis on technical specifications and performance-based contracting. Heitz routinely handles both sealed bid and negotiated acquisitions, ensuring alignment with statutory requirements and agency priorities. While specific contractor names are not available, Heitz maintains consistent engagement with a diverse pool of vendors, including manufacturers of audio and video equipment, HVAC contractors, and specialized service providers in fire protection and express delivery. His procurement approach emphasizes fair competition and vendor responsiveness, fostering relationships with both large-capability firms and small businesses capable of meeting technical and delivery demands. He is known for structured contract management practices that prioritize accountability, risk mitigation, and timely performance evaluation. Heitz demonstrates a clear preference for open competition, with 85.7% of his acquisitions conducted without set-asides, reflecting a focus on broad market access and value-driven outcomes. However, he consistently allocates 14.3% of his portfolio to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, indicating a deliberate commitment to fostering small business participation without prioritizing specific socioeconomic categories such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB. His primary industry focus lies in NAICS 334310 (Audio and Video Equipment Manufacturing) and 238220 (Plumbing, Heating, and Air-Conditioning Contractors), reflecting expertise in procuring specialized technical equipment and building systems. He also regularly acquires services under NAICS 922160 (Fire Protection) and 492110 (Couriers and Express Delivery Services), demonstrating a multidisciplinary understanding of both capital equipment and operational support requirements across public infrastructure domains.
