William T Schaeffer

William T. Schaeffer serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from requirement analysis and market research to contract award and administration. He plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with federal procurement regulations, including the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), and supports the agency’s mission by delivering mission-critical services through transparent, competitive processes. His portfolio primarily encompasses professional services, security operations, and administrative support contracts, often requiring specialized knowledge in risk mitigation, source selection, and post-award oversight. Schaeffer maintains collaborative relationships with a diverse range of vendors, including small businesses, service-disabled veteran-owned firms, and HUBZone-certified contractors. While no single contractor dominates his award portfolio, he consistently engages with firms capable of delivering specialized services such as security patrols, administrative consulting, and information technology support. His procurement approach emphasizes fair competition, clear performance metrics, and accountability, fostering long-term vendor partnerships grounded in regulatory compliance and operational reliability. A strong advocate for socioeconomic programs, Schaeffer demonstrates a clear preference for small business participation, with over half of his acquisitions conducted without set-asides, yet a significant portion allocated to 8(a) competed, HUBZone, and Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. His consistent use of Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) set-asides reflects a deliberate commitment to supporting veteran-owned enterprises. This balanced approach ensures broad market access while advancing federal goals for equitable economic opportunity. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541519 (Other Computer Related Services), 561612 (Security Guards and Patrol Services), and 541611 (Management Consulting Services), indicating expertise in technology-enabled administrative support, physical security operations, and strategic management advisory services. He regularly procures solutions requiring technical proficiency in cybersecurity, personnel screening, and operational logistics, demonstrating deep familiarity with the service-based contracting landscape.
