Timothy B. Dlugokecki

Timothy B. Dlugokecki serves as a Contracting Officer responsible for managing federal acquisitions within the food and beverage supply chain sector. He oversees the full lifecycle of procurement activities—from market research and solicitation development to contract award and administration—ensuring compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation and agency mission objectives. His portfolio primarily supports the procurement of food manufacturing equipment, processed food products, and wholesale distribution services, requiring technical understanding of production standards, food safety protocols, and logistics infrastructure. Dlugokecki’s work ensures timely delivery of mission-critical supplies while upholding fiscal responsibility and regulatory integrity. While specific contractor names are not available, Dlugokecki maintains relationships with a diverse range of vendors, including manufacturers of food processing machinery, bulk food distributors, and specialized processors. His contracting patterns reflect a preference for established industry participants with proven capacity in regulated food production environments. He engages both large-capacity suppliers and small businesses, fostering competitive bidding environments that prioritize quality, compliance, and supply chain reliability. Dlugokecki demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with approximately 9.1% of his awards structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. Although the majority of his acquisitions (90.9%) are conducted as full and open competitions, his consistent use of small business set-asides signals a deliberate effort to expand opportunities for qualified small manufacturers and wholesalers. He does not currently employ specialized set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB, but his procurement strategy actively supports broad-based small business growth within the food sector. His primary procurement focus centers on NAICS 312111 (Soft Drink Manufacturing) and 333241 (Food Product Machinery Manufacturing), each representing 18.2% of his activity, followed by 311999 (Miscellaneous Food Manufacturing), 424410 (Grocery Wholesalers), and 311615 (Poultry Processing). This specialization reflects deep expertise in procuring industrial food production systems, packaged consumables, and wholesale distribution services critical to federal feeding programs and institutional supply chains.
