William N. Li

William N. Li serves as a Contracting Officer responsible for managing complex professional services acquisitions across technical and humanitarian domains. In this role, he ensures compliance with federal procurement regulations while advancing mission-critical objectives through strategic sourcing, competitive bidding, and socioeconomic contracting. His portfolio primarily encompasses consulting services, emergency relief operations, and specialized technical support, requiring deep familiarity with performance-based acquisition methods and statement of work development. Li plays a pivotal role in aligning contract awards with agency priorities, ensuring transparency, accountability, and value-driven outcomes. Li’s contractor relationships are characterized by a balanced engagement with both large professional services firms and small business concerns, particularly those certified under the 8(a) program. While he works with a diverse pool of vendors, his award patterns reflect a strong preference for competed 8(a) contracts, indicating a deliberate effort to foster opportunities for disadvantaged small businesses. His procurement approach emphasizes fair competition, rigorous source selection, and contractor performance evaluation, cultivating long-term partnerships grounded in quality and compliance. A significant portion of Li’s acquisitions—nearly 22%—are awarded under 8(a) set-asides, demonstrating a clear commitment to socioeconomic goals and small business development. The remaining 77.8% of awards are competed without set-aside, reflecting his ability to balance broad market access with targeted inclusion initiatives. This pattern underscores a strategic, data-informed approach to socioeconomic contracting that prioritizes both competition and equity. His primary NAICS focus areas include Other Scientific and Technical Consulting Services (541690) and Emergency and Other Relief Services (624230), each representing one-third of his portfolio, with additional emphasis on Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services (541990) and specialized telecommunications services (517919). These categories reveal expertise in procuring advisory, operational, and technical support services for complex public sector challenges, particularly in areas requiring specialized knowledge, rapid response capabilities, and scalable technical solutions.
