Randy Butler

Randy Butler serves as a Technical Representative for the 693JJ3 Acquisition and Grants Management unit under the Federal Highway Administration, where he provides critical technical oversight for procurement actions supporting national transportation infrastructure initiatives. In this role, he collaborates closely with contracting officers to evaluate technical proposals, validate vendor capabilities, and ensure compliance with engineering and research standards. His work directly enables the agency’s mission to advance highway safety, resilience, and innovation through data-driven procurement of specialized services. Butler primarily handles acquisitions for transportation research, operational consulting, and systems integration services that inform infrastructure design and performance evaluation. His key contractor relationships include K & M Transportation Services LLC and the University of California, Los Angeles, reflecting a balanced partnership model between private-sector engineering firms and leading academic research institutions. Butler works closely with these entities to ensure technical deliverables align with federal transportation standards, often engaging in iterative review cycles during contract execution. His approach emphasizes technical rigor and performance-based outcomes, fostering long-term collaborations grounded in measurable results rather than transactional procurement. Butler’s procurement portfolio reflects a 100% non-set-aside orientation, indicating a focus on technical merit and capability over socioeconomic categorization. While he does not prioritize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, his evaluations remain fully compliant with all federal contracting regulations and emphasize open competition based on technical excellence and domain expertise. His primary procurement focus is on NAICS 488999—All Other Support Activities for Transportation—encompassing transportation systems analysis, traffic modeling, pavement performance studies, and intelligent transportation systems (ITS) consulting. He specializes in procuring advanced engineering services that support real-time data collection, infrastructure condition assessment, and multimodal operational planning, demonstrating deep expertise in the technical domains critical to modern highway system management.
