Richard Deiter

Richard A. Deiter serves as a Contracting Officer responsible for managing complex acquisitions across a diverse range of technical and professional services. In his role, he ensures compliance with federal procurement regulations while advancing agency mission objectives through strategic sourcing, competitive bidding, and contract administration. He typically handles solicitations under the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), with a focus on information technology services, training, and specialized manufacturing. His procurement decisions emphasize transparency, fairness, and value-driven outcomes, supporting efficient delivery of mission-critical capabilities. While specific contractor names are not available, Deiter’s contracting patterns reflect a preference for open competition, with the majority of awards issued under unrestricted solicitations. His working relationships with vendors are characterized by a strong adherence to competitive procedures, fostering a marketplace where firms compete on technical merit and performance capability. He engages with a broad spectrum of vendors, from large prime contractors to small businesses, consistently applying sound contracting practices to ensure accountability and performance. Deiter’s set-aside preferences reveal a limited but deliberate commitment to socioeconomic programs, with approximately 10.6% of awards directed toward small business set-asides—split evenly between 8(a) competed and total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. The remaining 89.5% of acquisitions are conducted without set-aside restrictions, indicating a primary emphasis on full and open competition. This approach balances broad market access with targeted support for qualified small businesses, aligning with federal goals while maintaining fiscal responsibility. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 511210 (Software Publishers) and 541519 (Other Computer Related Services), reflecting a strong technical emphasis on software development and IT support. Additional activity includes Computer Facilities Management Services (541513), Professional Training (611430), and Wood Office Furniture Manufacturing (337211), demonstrating a unique blend of IT and physical asset procurement. Deiter’s expertise spans both digital infrastructure and operational support services, positioning him as a versatile contracting professional with deep domain knowledge in technology-enabled government operations.
