Russell J. Mihely

Russell Mihely serves as a procurement specialist responsible for managing a diverse portfolio of service-based acquisitions, with a strong emphasis on small business participation and socioeconomic contracting goals. His role centers on executing full lifecycle contracting actions, from solicitation through award and administration, ensuring compliance with FAR provisions and agency mission objectives. He routinely handles complex service contracts in infrastructure support, facility maintenance, and operational services, aligning acquisitions with federal sustainability and workforce development priorities. His work directly supports mission-critical operations by securing reliable vendors capable of delivering high-quality, timely services under competitive conditions. Mihely cultivates collaborative relationships with a broad base of small and mid-sized contractors, particularly those certified under socioeconomic programs. He consistently engages with plumbing, HVAC, electrical, and landscaping firms, fostering long-term vendor partnerships built on performance accountability and regulatory compliance. His contracting approach prioritizes transparency and fair competition, encouraging participation from firms with proven track records in facility services and building systems maintenance. He maintains an active dialogue with industry stakeholders to ensure market awareness and promote equitable access to federal opportunities. A defining feature of Mihely’s contracting pattern is his robust commitment to small business set-asides, with nearly half of his awards designated for Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. He frequently utilizes HUBZone and Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) set-asides, reflecting a deliberate strategy to channel federal spending toward economically disadvantaged and veteran-owned enterprises. His procurement decisions consistently advance national goals for inclusive economic growth and community-based workforce development. His technical focus lies primarily in NAICS 238220 (Plumbing, Heating, and Air-Conditioning Contractors), with significant activity in electrical contracting (238210) and landscaping services (561730). He also procures facility operations support under 721110 and specialized maintenance services under 811219. This specialization underscores his expertise in building systems, facility infrastructure, and grounds management—domains requiring precise regulatory adherence and technical vendor evaluation.
