Richard Broadwarter

Richard Broadwarter serves as a Senior Contract Specialist with deep expertise in healthcare procurement, primarily focused on clinical and behavioral health services. In his role, he manages the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from requirements development and market research to contract award and administration, ensuring compliance with FAR and agency-specific regulations. He plays a critical part in delivering mission-critical mental health and physician services by structuring contracts that prioritize quality, continuity of care, and regulatory adherence. His acquisitions typically involve professional services contracts for outpatient mental health counseling, psychiatric evaluations, and integrated care delivery systems. While no specific contractor relationships are currently identifiable in the data, Broadwarter’s procurement pattern indicates consistent engagement with qualified healthcare service providers, including private practices, behavioral health networks, and specialized clinical vendors. He fosters collaborative vendor partnerships grounded in performance-based outcomes, ensuring service delivery aligns with clinical standards and patient care objectives. His approach emphasizes accountability, transparency, and long-term vendor reliability over transactional engagements. Broadwarter’s contracting portfolio reflects a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of his acquisitions issued under non-set-aside authorities. This indicates a focus on selecting the most qualified providers based on technical merit and past performance, rather than socioeconomic designations. While he does not routinely utilize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, his processes remain fully compliant with small business goals and encourage participation through unrestricted opportunities. His primary procurement focus is exclusively on NAICS 621112—Offices of Physicians, Mental Health Specialists—reflecting deep specialization in outpatient behavioral health and physician-led clinical services. He procures services including individual and group therapy, psychiatric consultations, substance use disorder treatment, and integrated primary care coordination, demonstrating advanced domain knowledge in mental health service delivery systems and regulatory frameworks governing clinical contracting.
