Robert D. Jaeger

Robert D. Jaeger serves as a Contracting Officer responsible for managing complex federal acquisitions across infrastructure and support services. In this role, he ensures compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) while advancing agency mission objectives through transparent, competitive procurement processes. He primarily handles large-scale construction and engineering contracts, as well as professional and administrative support services, balancing operational needs with statutory requirements for fair competition and socioeconomic goals. His expertise lies in structuring solicitations that attract qualified bidders while maintaining fiscal accountability and regulatory integrity. While specific contractor names are not available, Jaeger’s procurement patterns reflect a preference for established contractors with proven capabilities in civil engineering and facilities support. He regularly engages with firms experienced in heavy construction, public infrastructure development, and technical service delivery, fostering relationships grounded in performance history and compliance. His approach emphasizes open competition, with a strong emphasis on ensuring proposers meet technical specifications and demonstrate financial stability and past performance. Jaeger’s set-aside preferences reveal a primary focus on unrestricted acquisitions, with 90.2% of awards issued under full and open competition. However, he consistently supports small business participation through targeted set-asides, allocating 6.6% to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5 and an additional 1.6% each to HUBZone and 8(a) programs. This balanced approach demonstrates a commitment to socioeconomic contracting goals without compromising competition or mission readiness. His procurement focus is heavily concentrated in highway, street, and bridge construction (NAICS 237310) and other heavy civil engineering (NAICS 237990), reflecting expertise in infrastructure development. He also procures educational support services, facilities management, and marketing consulting, indicating a diverse operational portfolio. Jaeger’s technical domain expertise centers on public works, civil engineering systems, and mission-critical support services, making him a key steward of federal capital investment in physical infrastructure and institutional operations.
