James L. Bartley

James L. Bartley serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from requirements validation and market research through solicitation, evaluation, award, and contract administration. He plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and agency procurement policies, supporting mission-critical services through transparent, competitive contracting processes. His portfolio primarily consists of service-based acquisitions, with a strong emphasis on information technology, environmental services, and facilities support, often involving complex performance-based requirements and task-order delivery mechanisms. While specific contractor names are not available, Bartley maintains consistent working relationships with a diverse pool of vendors, including small businesses, mid-tier service providers, and specialized firms in environmental and IT sectors. His procurement approach emphasizes fair competition and vendor collaboration, fostering long-term partnerships with contractors capable of delivering high-quality, compliant services under performance-based contracts. He frequently engages with vendors through pre-solicitation meetings and industry days to enhance market understanding and promote responsive proposals. Bartley demonstrates a clear commitment to socioeconomic contracting goals, with 40% of his acquisitions structured as small business set-asides—equally divided between Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5 and Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) set-asides. His consistent use of these authorities reflects a strategic focus on expanding opportunities for underserved veteran-owned and small business concerns, aligning with national objectives to promote equitable access to federal contracting. His primary procurement focus lies in four key NAICS categories: 511130 (Software Publishers), 541519 (Other Computer-Related Services), 561210 (Facilities Support Services), and 562112 (Hazardous Waste Collection). These reflect deep expertise in procuring IT modernization, digital service solutions, facility operations support, and environmental compliance services. Bartley’s technical domain knowledge enables him to effectively evaluate technical proposals and ensure contract performance aligns with operational needs across these specialized sectors.
