Mark Schimmelbusch

Mark Schimmelbusch serves as a procurement professional within the General Services Administration’s Federal Acquisition Service, Region 9, where he plays a critical role in executing mission-critical acquisitions for federal agencies across the western United States. His responsibilities center on managing the full lifecycle of professional, scientific, and technical services contracts, with a sharp focus on information technology and systems design. He ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while aligning procurements with GSA’s strategic goals of digital transformation and operational resilience. Schimmelbusch routinely handles complex, performance-based solicitations for IT infrastructure modernization, cloud-enabled solutions, and systems integration services, supporting federal workforce productivity and public service delivery. His contractor relationships are primarily with firms specializing in computer systems design services, engaging a broad spectrum of vendors—from large enterprise technology integrators to niche IT consultants. While no single contractor dominates his portfolio, he consistently works with industry leaders and specialized service providers capable of delivering scalable, secure, and interoperable IT solutions. His procurement approach emphasizes technical rigor, vendor performance accountability, and adherence to FARS and FAR guidelines, fostering transparent and competitive contracting environments. Schimmelbusch’s contracting activity shows no preference for socioeconomic set-asides, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic emphasis on maximizing technical capability and market-wide competition rather than targeted socioeconomic programs, though he remains compliant with all applicable small business regulations. His approach prioritizes outcome-driven procurement over demographic targeting, ensuring the federal government secures the highest-quality technical expertise available. His primary procurement focus is exclusively on NAICS 541512—Computer Systems Design Services—encompassing custom software development, enterprise architecture, cybersecurity integration, network modernization, and systems engineering. He procures solutions that enable digital transformation across federal operations, with deep expertise in cloud migration, data analytics platforms, and mission-critical IT modernization initiatives.
