Patrick R Butler

Patrick R. Butler serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from requirements determination through contract award and administration. He plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and supports the agency’s mission by delivering essential services through transparent, competitive procurement processes. His portfolio primarily includes service-based contracts requiring specialized technical expertise, particularly in healthcare, aviation support, and environmental waste management sectors. Butler ensures all procurements adhere to statutory mandates, promote fair competition, and align with agency operational needs. While specific contractor names are not available, Butler maintains relationships with a diverse pool of vendors, including both large-capability firms and small businesses capable of delivering complex, regulated services. His contracting patterns reflect a preference for open competition, with a significant portion of awards issued under total small business set-asides, indicating a consistent emphasis on fostering vendor diversity. He engages with contractors through full and open competitions and set-aside mechanisms, ensuring adherence to FAR Part 19 while maintaining rigorous performance standards. Butler demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with 25% of his acquisitions designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, reflecting a deliberate strategy to expand opportunities for small businesses. He does not currently prioritize other socioeconomic categories such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB, but his consistent use of small business set-asides underscores a foundational dedication to promoting small business participation in federal contracting. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 621111 (Offices of Physicians), where he acquires clinical support services, staffing, and related healthcare infrastructure. He also procures specialized airport operations under NAICS 488119 and miscellaneous waste management services under NAICS 562998, indicating expertise in highly regulated, mission-critical service domains requiring compliance with health, safety, and environmental standards.
