Patrick Feick

Patrick Feick serves as a Training Officer responsible for designing and managing procurement strategies centered on professional development and water transportation support services. In this role, he plays a critical part in aligning agency training initiatives with federal acquisition regulations, ensuring that contracts for workforce development and operational support are competitively sourced and compliant with statutory requirements. His acquisitions typically involve performance-based service contracts for curriculum design, instructor-led training, logistics coordination, and ancillary support activities essential to maintaining operational readiness in maritime and transportation sectors. While no specific contractor relationships are currently documented, Feick’s procurement patterns suggest engagement with a diverse pool of vendors, including small businesses specializing in adult education, workforce training, and maritime logistics support. His approach emphasizes competitive bidding and vendor diversity, fostering partnerships with firms capable of delivering tailored training solutions and technical support services under performance-based frameworks. He maintains a collaborative relationship with contractors to ensure deliverables meet mission-critical standards for workforce competency and operational efficiency. Feick demonstrates a balanced commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with equal portions of his acquisitions set aside for small businesses under FAR 19.5 and awarded without set-asides. This 50/50 split reflects a deliberate strategy to promote small business participation while maintaining flexibility to source the most capable providers, regardless of size. His contracting patterns indicate a strong alignment with the intent of the Small Business Act, encouraging competition among small, women-owned, and veteran-owned firms without compromising mission outcomes. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 611430 (Professional and Management Development Training) and 488390 (Other Support Activities for Water Transportation), indicating expertise in both workforce capacity building and maritime operational support. He procures services such as leadership development programs, safety and compliance training, vessel support logistics, and training facility management—domains requiring specialized knowledge of federal training standards and transportation sector regulations.
