Kenneth A. Butler

Kenneth A. Butler serves as a Contracting Officer responsible for managing complex procurement actions in support of federal facility and infrastructure needs. He plays a critical role in executing acquisitions aligned with statutory requirements and agency mission objectives, focusing on construction-related services and facility maintenance. His portfolio primarily encompasses services under the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS), particularly in building equipment installation and landscaping, ensuring that contractual obligations meet technical, safety, and performance standards. Butler is instrumental in translating operational requirements into solicitation language, conducting market research, and ensuring full compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR). While specific contractor names are not disclosed in available records, Butler maintains a consistent pattern of engaging with small business vendors, particularly those certified under socioeconomic programs. His contracting approach emphasizes competitive set-asides, fostering partnerships with firms capable of delivering specialized building equipment services and landscape maintenance. He actively cultivates relationships with contractors who demonstrate past performance, technical capability, and compliance with labor and environmental standards, ensuring a robust and resilient vendor base. Butler demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with 80% of his acquisitions structured as set-asides—equally divided between Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5 and 8(a) competed contracts. This reflects a deliberate strategy to promote economic opportunity for disadvantaged entrepreneurs while maintaining competition and value. His consistent use of these set-asides underscores a dedication to statutory mandates and the broader goal of equitable federal contracting. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 238290 (Other Building Equipment Contractors) and NAICS 561730 (Landscaping Services), indicating deep expertise in the installation, maintenance, and integration of non-residential building systems and grounds management. He routinely procures services such as HVAC auxiliary equipment, lighting systems, irrigation infrastructure, and site beautification, requiring technical knowledge of industry standards and performance-based specifications.
