Wiiliam R. Bartelmes

William R. Bartelmes serves as a Contracting Officer responsible for managing federal acquisitions in support of technical and maintenance services. In this role, he ensures compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) while executing procurements that align with agency mission needs. His portfolio primarily consists of professional services and industrial maintenance contracts, with a focus on securing specialized consulting and equipment repair solutions. Bartelmes plays a critical role in ensuring transparent, competitive, and compliant contracting processes, balancing operational requirements with socioeconomic objectives. While specific contractor names are not available, Bartelmes maintains a procurement pattern characterized by engagement with a diverse pool of vendors, including both large firms and small businesses capable of delivering technical consulting and commercial machinery maintenance services. His working relationships reflect a preference for responsive, qualified contractors with demonstrated expertise in niche technical domains, fostering long-term vendor partnerships grounded in performance and regulatory adherence. Bartelmes demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with approximately one-third of his awards structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. He does not routinely utilize other socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB, but his consistent use of small business set-asides signals a deliberate strategy to expand opportunities for small businesses capable of delivering high-quality technical and maintenance services. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541690 (Other Scientific and Technical Consulting Services) and NAICS 811310 (Commercial and Industrial Machinery and Equipment Repair and Maintenance). These categories reflect his specialization in securing expert advisory services and precision maintenance for non-automotive industrial systems. Bartelmes’s expertise spans technical project management, equipment lifecycle support, and systems optimization, making him a key steward of mission-critical non-tactical acquisitions.
