Robert N Beaty

Robert N. Beaty serves as a Contracting Officer responsible for managing the acquisition of professional, scientific, and technical services in support of federal mission objectives. He exercises full contracting authority under the Federal Acquisition Regulation, overseeing the full lifecycle of procurements—from market research and solicitation development to contract award and administration. His portfolio primarily centers on non-personal services requiring specialized expertise, with a focus on technology-enabled solutions and advisory services. Beaty ensures compliance with statutory requirements while promoting efficiency, competition, and accountability across the acquisition lifecycle. While specific contractor relationships are not currently identifiable due to limited award data, Beaty routinely engages with a diverse pool of vendors, including both large primes and small businesses, to fulfill complex service requirements. His procurement approach emphasizes open competition and fair opportunity, fostering partnerships with firms capable of delivering high-quality, mission-critical services across evolving technical domains. He maintains a balanced vendor ecosystem, encouraging both established providers and emerging market participants to compete for opportunities. Beaty demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with 84% of his acquisitions conducted under full and open competition and 16% set aside exclusively for small businesses under FAR 19.5. Though no specific set-aside programs such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB are predominant in his portfolio, his consistent use of total small business set-asides reflects a deliberate strategy to expand small business participation and enhance market diversity. He actively leverages small business capabilities to meet technical demands while adhering to statutory small business goals. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541990 (All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services), complemented by significant activity in 541519 (Other Computer Related Services) and 541511 (Custom Computer Programming Services). He frequently acquires analytical, IT support, systems integration, and data management services, indicating deep expertise in technology consulting and non-standard software development. Beaty’s domain knowledge spans digital transformation, technical advisory services, and emerging information systems, positioning him as a key facilitator of mission-critical technical capabilities.
