Stephen J Bartley

Stephen J. Bartley serves as a Contract Specialist at the GSA/FAS Region 7 Acquisition Center, where he plays a pivotal role in executing mission-critical procurements for industrial and institutional supplies that sustain federal operations. His responsibilities include managing full lifecycle contracting actions for high-volume, standardized durable goods, ensuring compliance with FAR regulations and GSA acquisition policies. He specializes in streamlining procurement pathways for essential consumables and equipment critical to federal facility functionality, with a focus on efficiency, standardization, and supply chain resilience. Bartley maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors including MACGYVER SOLUTIONS, INC., FEDERAL SUPPLY SERVICES INTERNATIONAL LLC., B.W. WILSON PAPER COMPANY, INCORPORATED, and COMSIS SOLUTIONS LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for established commercial vendors with proven capacity to deliver standardized industrial products under blanket purchase agreements and indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contracts. His approach emphasizes reliable performance, scalable logistics, and adherence to federal quality and delivery standards. His contracting patterns show a strong preference for open, non-set-aside acquisitions, with 88.3% of awards issued without socioeconomic set-asides. While small business participation remains modest at 11.7%, it is primarily channeled through Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, indicating a deliberate but limited use of socioeconomic tools in favor of broad competition and operational readiness. Bartley’s procurement focus centers on manufacturing and wholesale distribution sectors, with primary NAICS codes in Gasket, Packing, and Sealing Device Manufacturing (339991), Hardware Merchant Wholesalers (423710), and Bolt, Nut, Screw, Rivet, and Washer Manufacturing (332722). He routinely acquires mechanical fasteners, industrial seals, hardware components, and related maintenance supplies, demonstrating deep technical familiarity with industrial procurement domains and the operational needs of federal facilities.
