Michael Waidelich

Michael Waidelich serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of procurement actions, from requirements validation and solicitation development to contract award and administration. He plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and advancing mission-critical services through transparent, efficient contracting processes. His portfolio primarily centers on security services, with a strong emphasis on safeguarding personnel and facilities through contracted guard and patrol services. Waidelich routinely handles task and delivery order contracts under indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) mechanisms, ensuring responsive and scalable support for operational needs. While no specific contractor relationships are identifiable from available data, Waidelich’s contracting patterns suggest a preference for established vendors with proven capability in physical security operations, including firms experienced in personnel screening, access control, and mobile patrol services. His approach reflects a focus on performance-based contracting, emphasizing measurable outcomes and compliance with federal standards for law enforcement and protective services. Vendor partnerships are typically formed through competitive solicitations under FAR Part 15, with an emphasis on evaluating technical merit and past performance. Waidelich’s set-aside profile reveals a strong orientation toward open competition, with 94.9% of awards issued as non-set-aside actions. Only 5.1% of his awards are structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, indicating a deliberate but limited use of socioeconomic preferences. His approach prioritizes market competition while maintaining a foundational commitment to small business participation where appropriate and feasible under statutory constraints. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 561612 (Security Guards and Patrol Services), which accounts for nearly all of his activity, demonstrating deep expertise in workforce management, contract oversight, and security service delivery. Secondary categories include in-vitro diagnostic manufacturing and commercial construction, suggesting occasional cross-functional support for specialized facility or health-related infrastructure needs. Waidelich’s domain knowledge is firmly rooted in protective services contracting and regulatory adherence within the federal security ecosystem.
