Jake L Schweikert

Jake L. Schweikert serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from requirements definition through contract award and administration. He plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) while advancing agency mission objectives through transparent, competitive procurement processes. His portfolio primarily encompasses service-based contracts in facility maintenance, security systems, and specialized construction support, with a strong emphasis on small business participation. Schweikert’s work ensures that acquisitions align with statutory mandates and promote efficient use of public funds. While specific contractor names are not available, Schweikert maintains a robust network of vendor partnerships centered on small and mid-sized businesses, particularly those certified under socioeconomic programs. His contracting patterns reflect a preference for firms capable of delivering specialized services with high reliability and regulatory compliance, fostering long-term relationships with vendors experienced in federal procurement protocols. He actively engages with contractors through pre-solicitation outreach, industry days, and post-award performance evaluations to ensure accountability and quality delivery. Schweikert demonstrates a pronounced commitment to small business contracting, with 73.1% of his awards designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to maximize opportunities for small businesses, including those certified as 8(a), HUBZone, or women-owned, even when specific socioeconomic categories are not explicitly stated. His consistent use of set-asides underscores a proactive approach to advancing socioeconomic goals and fostering a diverse supplier base within the federal marketplace. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS categories including 238330 (Flooring Contractors), 314110 (Carpet and Rug Mills), 238210 (Electrical Contractors), 561621 (Security Systems Services), and 811310 (Commercial and Industrial Machinery Repair).
