Jamie Schoemaker

Jamie Schoemaker serves as a Contracts Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from market research and solicitation development to contract award and administration. In this role, Schoemaker supports the agency’s mission by ensuring compliance with federal procurement regulations, promoting competition, and aligning contracting strategies with operational needs. They routinely handle complex procurements for professional equipment, security services, and specialized control devices, requiring a deep understanding of technical specifications, performance requirements, and FAR compliance. Their work ensures timely delivery of mission-critical goods and services while upholding fiscal responsibility and regulatory integrity. Schoemaker cultivates collaborative relationships with a diverse pool of vendors, including merchant wholesalers of professional equipment, security service providers, and manufacturers of precision measuring and controlling devices. While no single contractor dominates their portfolio, they consistently engage both large-capacity suppliers and small business concerns capable of meeting specialized technical demands. Their contracting approach emphasizes fair and open competition, with a preference for vendors demonstrating proven capability, quality assurance practices, and responsive customer service. Schoemaker exhibits a strong commitment to small business participation, with approximately one-third of their awards structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to expand opportunities for small businesses without relying on more restrictive socioeconomic set-asides like 8(a) or HUBZone. Their contracting patterns prioritize broad-based small business engagement, fostering a competitive environment that encourages innovation and resilience within the vendor base. Their primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 423490 (professional equipment and supplies wholesale), 561612 (security and patrol services), and 334519 (other measuring and controlling device manufacturing). These categories reflect expertise in procuring technical instrumentation, physical security solutions, and specialized industrial equipment. Schoemaker’s domain knowledge enables effective evaluation of technical proposals and ensures acquisitions meet operational standards across multiple mission-critical functions.
