Paul T Babiarz

Paul T. Babiarz serves as a Contracting Officer responsible for managing federal acquisitions across a diverse range of technical and industrial domains. In this role, he ensures compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) while executing competitive and compliant procurement strategies that align with agency mission objectives. His portfolio primarily encompasses contracts for communications equipment, fabricated metal structures, energy-related wiring, solid waste collection services, and specialized building equipment installation. Babiarz is instrumental in structuring solicitations that balance technical requirements with socioeconomic goals, ensuring transparency, fairness, and efficiency throughout the acquisition lifecycle. While specific contractor names are not publicly available, Babiarz maintains consistent working relationships with a broad spectrum of vendors, including both large primes and small businesses capable of delivering complex technical solutions. His procurement patterns reflect a preference for open competition, yet he actively fosters partnerships with qualified small businesses through targeted set-asides and pre-solicitation outreach. He engages with contractors across manufacturing, construction, and environmental services sectors, ensuring that solicitation terms are clearly defined to promote responsive, high-quality proposals. Babiarz demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with nearly 39% of his awards structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. His approach prioritizes accessible entry points for small businesses without relying on specialized socioeconomic programs like 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, indicating a focus on broad-based small business engagement rather than targeted certifications. This pattern reflects a strategic effort to expand competition and stimulate innovation among small manufacturers and service providers. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 334290 (Other Communications Equipment Manufacturing), 332312 (Fabricated Structural Metal Manufacturing), and 335929 (Other Communication and Energy Wire Manufacturing), underscoring expertise in hardware and infrastructure-related supply chains. He also regularly procures services under NAICS 562111 (Solid Waste Collection) and 238290 (Other Building Equipment Contractors), revealing a multidisciplinary technical domain that spans industrial manufacturing, utilities, and facility support systems.
