James L Bartley

James L. Bartley serves as a Contracting Specialist responsible for managing the acquisition lifecycle for industrial and energy-related procurement activities. He ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while executing competitive and non-competitive contracts aligned with agency mission requirements. His portfolio primarily centers on the procurement of industrial gases, refinery equipment, and related technical services, supporting critical infrastructure and operational readiness. Bartley applies sound contracting principles to ensure transparency, fairness, and value in every acquisition, acting as a key liaison between technical stakeholders and vendor communities. While no specific contractor relationships are currently identifiable in the data, Bartley engages with a broad spectrum of industrial suppliers, including manufacturers of industrial gas systems, petroleum refining components, and specialized process equipment. His contracting approach emphasizes competitive bidding under full and open competition, fostering relationships with both large-capacity producers and qualified small businesses that meet technical specifications. He maintains a results-driven, compliance-focused working relationship with vendors, prioritizing performance, delivery timelines, and regulatory adherence. Bartley’s contracting patterns reflect a strong preference for full and open competition, with 100% of his awards issued under non-set-aside conditions. This indicates a focus on technical capability and market competitiveness over socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs. While he does not routinely reserve contracts for small business categories, his process remains inclusive, allowing all qualified entities to compete on an equal footing based on merit and technical fitness. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 325120 (Industrial Gas Manufacturing), where he acquires cryogenic gas systems, pressure vessels, and distribution infrastructure, and NAICS 324110 (Petroleum Refineries), where he procures refining equipment, control systems, and maintenance services. Bartley possesses deep technical expertise in industrial process systems and energy supply chain logistics, ensuring that acquisitions meet stringent safety, environmental, and operational standards.
