Stephan M Batt

Stephan M. Batt serves as a procurement professional within the Contracting and Procurement office of the Transportation Security Administration under the Department of Homeland Security, where he supports the acquisition of mission-critical security technologies essential to aviation and transit infrastructure. His responsibilities include managing the full lifecycle of contracts for specialized detection systems, hazardous material handling equipment, and operational support services, ensuring alignment with national security objectives. He routinely handles complex procurements involving technical specifications for explosive detection, irradiation apparatus, and GPS-enabled rail monitoring systems, working closely with engineering and operational stakeholders to translate capability requirements into compliant solicitation documents. While no specific contractor relationships are currently identifiable in the available data, Batt’s procurement patterns indicate engagement with a broad spectrum of technical service providers, including laboratories, environmental remediation firms, and advanced detection system integrators. His working relationships reflect a focus on performance-based contracting and technical validation, prioritizing vendors capable of meeting stringent federal security and environmental standards. Batt’s contracting activity shows a 100% preference for non-set-aside procurements, indicating a strategic emphasis on full and open competition rather than socioeconomic set-asides. This approach underscores a mission-driven focus on technical capability and operational readiness over socioeconomic classification, though it does not preclude small business participation when they meet the technical and compliance thresholds. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 562998 (All Other Miscellaneous Waste Management Services), 541380 (Testing Laboratories and Services), and 562211 (Hazardous Waste Treatment and Disposal), reflecting deep involvement in the acquisition of environmental compliance services, analytical testing for hazardous substances, and specialized waste handling solutions. These categories align with the TSA’s need to safely manage and dispose of regulated materials generated by security screening operations, demonstrating technical expertise in regulatory frameworks governing hazardous materials and laboratory accreditation standards.
