Jason C Heddy

Jason C. Heddy serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from requirements definition and market research through solicitation, evaluation, award, and contract administration. He plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with federal procurement regulations while advancing mission-critical technology and professional services objectives. His portfolio primarily consists of complex service-based contracts requiring technical expertise and rigorous source selection processes, often involving non-personal services under FAR Part 12 and performance-based acquisition methodologies. Heddy works closely with program managers and technical evaluators to align contracting strategies with agency goals, ensuring transparency, fairness, and efficiency in all procurement actions. Heddy maintains professional relationships with a diverse range of vendors specializing in custom software development and professional technical services. He engages with both large prime contractors and small business subcontractors, fostering competitive environments that encourage innovation and value-driven solutions. His contracting approach emphasizes clear performance metrics, outcome-based deliverables, and robust contract oversight to ensure accountability and quality. While no single contractor dominates his portfolio, he consistently evaluates proposals from firms with proven capabilities in software engineering, systems integration, and specialized technical consulting. Heddy’s procurement patterns reflect a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of his awards issued under the “No Set-Aside” category. This indicates a deliberate focus on selecting the most qualified offerors regardless of socioeconomic status, prioritizing technical merit and cost-effectiveness over set-aside programs such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB. While he does not actively reserve opportunities for small business set-asides, he remains compliant with all small business subcontracting requirements and encourages participation through prime-subcontractor teaming arrangements. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541511 (Custom Computer Programming Services) and 541990 (All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services), reflecting deep expertise in software development, systems analysis, and specialized technical consulting. He regularly acquires services related to custom application development, data analytics, cybersecurity support, and mission-specific technical advisory services, demonstrating a strong command of IT modernization and professional services procurement.
