Patrick Schurott

Patrick Schurott serves as a Senior Supervisor overseeing federal procurement activities centered on scientific and technical services. In this capacity, he plays a pivotal role in shaping acquisition strategies that align with mission-critical research and development objectives. His responsibilities include managing the full lifecycle of contract actions—from solicitation and evaluation to award and administration—ensuring compliance with FAR regulations and promoting efficient, transparent procurement practices. He typically handles complex, high-value solicitations requiring specialized technical expertise, particularly in engineering, physical sciences, and applied research domains. While specific contractor names are not available, Schurott’s procurement patterns reflect a balanced engagement with both large prime contractors and small businesses, fostering a competitive marketplace for professional scientific services. His working relationships emphasize performance-based contracting, outcome-driven deliverables, and rigorous technical evaluation criteria. He collaborates with vendors capable of delivering innovative solutions in laboratory support, data analysis, and systems engineering, often requiring cleared personnel and advanced technical capabilities. Schurott demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with approximately one-third of his acquisitions structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate focus on expanding opportunities for small businesses in technical services, though the majority of his portfolio remains open to all competitors. His approach supports broader agency goals of diversity in the vendor base without compromising technical rigor or mission outcomes. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541712 (Research and Development in the Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences), where he sources advanced R&D services including prototyping, modeling, and experimental testing. He also regularly procures services under NAICS 541990, encompassing specialized consulting, technical analysis, and scientific support. His expertise spans interdisciplinary domains requiring precision, regulatory compliance, and innovation in non-biotech scientific fields.
