Stas L Blaushild

Stas L. Blaushild serves as a key procurement professional within Washington Headquarters Services, supporting the Department of Defense’s mission to modernize institutional management systems and enhance enterprise-wide operational efficiency. Responsible for managing complex acquisition programs, Blaushild specializes in soliciting and awarding contracts for research and development services, as well as educational and professional training solutions that support DoD’s strategic modernization goals. Their procurement portfolio centers on technical consulting, systems integration, and institutional capacity-building initiatives that enable data-driven decision-making across defense components. Blaushild maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of high-performing contractors, including Clarity Innovations LLC, Cynergy Professional Systems LLC, Signature Renovations LLC, AMD International Technologies LLC, and Guidehouse Inc. These partnerships reflect a balanced approach to sourcing—leveraging established firms with proven institutional expertise while maintaining flexibility to engage specialized vendors capable of delivering tailored solutions in engineering research and organizational development. The working relationships are characterized by long-term engagement, performance-based evaluations, and a focus on mission-critical outcomes rather than transactional procurement. Blaushild’s contracting strategy reflects a strong commitment to socioeconomic diversity, with approximately half of all acquisitions set aside exclusively for small businesses under FAR 19.5. This deliberate allocation underscores a sustained effort to broaden participation from small and emerging vendors, ensuring equitable access to DoD opportunities while maintaining competitive rigor. The remaining half of awards are issued as full and open competitions, balancing small business inclusion with the need for scalable, enterprise-grade capabilities. The primary technical focus of Blaushild’s acquisitions falls under NAICS 541715 for research and development in physical and engineering sciences and NAICS 611310 for higher education and professional training services. This dual emphasis indicates deep expertise in procuring advanced technical studies, systems analysis, workforce development programs, and institutional consulting services that directly support DoD’s digital transformation and human capital modernization priorities.
