Roy Pitman

Roy Pitman serves as a secondary procurement liaison within the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, supporting the agency’s mission to modernize operational infrastructure through strategic acquisitions. While not the primary contracting officer, he plays a critical role in facilitating the acquisition lifecycle for non-IT, facility-related resources, ensuring alignment with USPTO’s broader goals of operational efficiency and public service delivery. His responsibilities include coordinating requirements validation, supporting market research, and assisting in the execution of simplified acquisition procedures, particularly for office environment upgrades and equipment procurement. Pitman’s contracting activity is closely tied to IP.COM I, LLC, and Innovative Transducer Implementation, LLC, with whom he maintains consistent, low-volume procurement interactions. These relationships reflect a pattern of engagement with specialized vendors capable of delivering niche office equipment and technical support services tailored to the USPTO’s unique operational needs. His working style emphasizes collaboration with small, agile suppliers who can meet precise technical specifications without requiring complex solicitation processes. He exhibits a strong and consistent preference for total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, ensuring that 100% of his assigned acquisitions are reserved exclusively for small businesses. This reflects a deliberate commitment to socioeconomic goals, fostering growth among small manufacturers and service providers with demonstrated capacity in federal compliance and delivery timelines. Pitman’s procurement focus is narrowly concentrated in NAICS 337214—Office Furniture (except Wood) Manufacturing—indicating specialized expertise in procuring ergonomic workstations, secure storage systems, and customized cabinetry for patent and trademark examiners. His domain expertise lies in acquiring durable, compliance-ready office furnishings that support long-term workplace safety, accessibility, and ergonomic standards within federal facilities.
