Jessie Hartel

Jessie Hartel serves as a procurement professional responsible for managing technical service acquisitions within a federal agency, focusing on engineering and information technology solutions. While specific organizational details are not disclosed, their role centers on executing complex contract actions that align with mission-critical technical requirements. Hartel typically handles performance-based, fixed-price and cost-reimbursement contracts for professional services, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and delivering high-value outcomes through strategic sourcing. Their work directly supports the agency’s operational readiness by securing specialized expertise in systems engineering and digital infrastructure. Hartel maintains a broad contractor base, engaging with both large prime contractors and niche technical service providers across the engineering and IT services sectors. While no single vendor dominates their award portfolio, relationships are characterized by consistent recompetition and open competition under FAR Part 15 procedures. Vendor partnerships emphasize technical capability, past performance, and compliance with cybersecurity and data governance standards, reflecting a preference for qualified, vetted firms capable of delivering scalable, secure solutions. Hartel’s contracting patterns show a strong orientation toward open competition, with 100% of acquisitions conducted without set-aside designations. This reflects a strategic focus on maximizing competition and selecting the most technically capable offerors regardless of socioeconomic status, rather than prioritizing 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs. While small business participation is not formally targeted through set-asides, small firms may still compete successfully under full and open conditions based on merit and capability. The primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541330 (Engineering Services) and 541519 (Other Computer Related Services), indicating deep specialization in systems engineering, technical analysis, software development, and IT modernization support. Hartel consistently acquires services involving infrastructure design, data analytics, cybersecurity architecture, and custom software integration, demonstrating expertise in managing technical engagements that require rigorous performance metrics and compliance with federal IT standards.
