Russell C Bergt

Russell C. Bergt serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from requirements development through contract award and administration. He plays a pivotal role in ensuring compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and supports the agency’s mission by executing timely, transparent, and legally sound procurement actions. His portfolio primarily consists of construction and infrastructure-related contracts, requiring deep familiarity with performance-based specifications, contract type selection, and contractor performance monitoring. Bergt’s work directly enables critical public works projects by aligning acquisition strategy with operational needs and statutory mandates. While specific contractor names are not available, Bergt routinely engages with a broad spectrum of construction industry vendors, including general contractors, specialty trade firms, and small business subcontractors. His procurement patterns reflect a preference for competitive sealed bidding under FAR Part 14 and performance-based contract structures that emphasize outcomes over inputs. He maintains collaborative relationships with industry stakeholders, ensuring clarity in solicitation requirements and fostering fair competition through open market opportunities and targeted small business outreach. Bergt demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with 80% of his acquisitions conducted as unrestricted full and open competition and 20% awarded as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. He consistently prioritizes small business participation, leveraging set-aside authorities to expand market access for qualified small firms without relying on more restrictive programs like 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB. His approach reflects a balanced strategy that promotes competition while meeting statutory small business goals. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 237310 (Highway, Street, and Bridge Construction), which accounts for 60% of his activity, followed by NAICS 238290 (Other Building Equipment Contractors) and NAICS 238220 (Plumbing, Heating, and Air-Conditioning Contractors). He specializes in procuring complex infrastructure services involving civil works, mechanical systems, and building equipment installation, demonstrating technical proficiency in construction standards, inspection protocols, and quality assurance frameworks.
