Timothy R. Bouchelle

Timothy R. Bouchelle serves as a Contract Officer responsible for managing complex procurement actions within the federal acquisition system, ensuring compliance with FAR regulations and mission-critical supply chain objectives. He specializes in the acquisition of pharmaceuticals, biologics, and medical devices, overseeing the full lifecycle of contracts from solicitation to award and administration. His work supports the delivery of essential healthcare products and services, requiring deep familiarity with technical specifications, regulatory standards, and supply chain logistics in the life sciences sector. Bouchelle’s acquisitions are typically high-complexity, low-volume procurements requiring specialized technical evaluation and stringent quality assurance protocols. While specific contractor relationships are not publicly enumerated, Bouchelle maintains a balanced portfolio of vendor partnerships that includes large manufacturers of pharmaceutical and medical supply products, as well as qualified small businesses. His contracting patterns reflect a preference for competitive, open market actions, with consistent engagement with merchant wholesalers and manufacturers capable of meeting stringent FDA and GMP compliance requirements. He fosters collaborative relationships with vendors who demonstrate reliability in regulatory adherence, just-in-time delivery, and supply chain resilience. Bouchelle’s set-aside preferences reveal a strong commitment to small business participation, with nearly 20% of his awards designated for total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. He occasionally utilizes 8(a) competed set-asides and has a measurable, though limited, focus on service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses. His approach aligns with broader agency goals to expand socioeconomic opportunities while maintaining procurement integrity and operational readiness. His primary procurement focus centers on NAICS codes related to pharmaceutical and biological product manufacturing, medical equipment wholesale, and surgical appliance production. He routinely procures sterile injectables, diagnostic reagents, surgical instruments, and specialized medical supplies, demonstrating expertise in life sciences supply chains and regulatory-compliant sourcing practices.
