Stas L Blaushild

Stas L. Blaushild supports the Washington Headquarters Services in executing mission-critical procurement activities that advance the Department of Defense’s institutional efficiency and digital transformation goals. Though not formally titled, Blaushild plays a central role in managing professional services contracts that enable enterprise-wide administrative modernization, technical operations, and strategic consulting. Their procurement focus centers on high-complexity, non-commodity services that support DoD-wide infrastructure, systems integration, and operational readiness, ensuring alignment with federal acquisition regulations and enterprise resource optimization priorities. Blaushild maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of established professional services contractors, including Clarity Innovations LLC, Cynergy Professional Systems LLC, Signature Renovations LLC, AMD International Technologies LLC, and Guidehouse Inc. These partnerships reflect a preference for vendors with deep expertise in management consulting, facilities support, and IT-enabled administrative services. The contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, long-term service delivery, and proven capability in navigating complex DoD environments, indicating a reliance on trusted, vetted contractors with institutional knowledge. Set-aside preferences reveal a strong orientation toward open competition, with 88.2% of acquisitions conducted without socioeconomic set-asides. The remaining 11.8% are allocated to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a measured but deliberate commitment to small business participation without prioritizing specific categories such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB. This pattern suggests a focus on capability over socioeconomic designation, aligning with WHS’s enterprise-scale service needs. Blaushild’s procurement portfolio is dominated by NAICS 541715 (R&D in physical and engineering sciences) and 541990 (other professional, scientific, and technical services), each accounting for 28.6% of activity. Additional focus areas include computer facilities management, administrative consulting, and other IT-related services. This reflects deep expertise in procuring technical advisory, systems optimization, and operational support services critical to sustaining DoD’s institutional backbone.
