Adriane Lott

Adriane Lott serves as a Procurement Officer for the Jamestown-Yorktown Foundation, where she manages the acquisition of critical support services essential to maintaining the Foundation’s living history museum environment. In this role, she ensures that all procurement activities align with the agency’s mission to preserve and interpret 17th-century colonial history through immersive, operational exhibits. Her responsibilities include soliciting, evaluating, and awarding contracts for temporary staffing solutions that support guest services, educational programming, facility maintenance, and event logistics. As the primary point of contact for service-based acquisitions, Lott ensures compliance with federal and state procurement regulations while prioritizing operational continuity and historical authenticity. Lott works primarily with temporary help agencies and workforce solutions providers that supply trained personnel for seasonal, event-driven, and long-term support roles across the Foundation’s campuses. Her contractor relationships are characterized by consistent, repeat engagements with vendors capable of delivering vetted, culturally competent staff familiar with historical interpretation standards. These partnerships emphasize reliability, scalability, and adherence to educational and safety protocols required in open-air museum settings. Lott’s procurement profile reflects a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of awards issued under no set-aside classifications. While she does not currently utilize socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs, her approach prioritizes capability, compliance, and service quality over socioeconomic criteria, consistent with the Foundation’s operational needs and funding structure. Her procurement focus is exclusively centered on NAICS 561320 (Temporary Help Services), reflecting the Foundation’s reliance on flexible, on-demand labor to sustain daily operations, interpretive demonstrations, and visitor engagement activities. She specializes in procuring skilled temporary personnel for roles including historical reenactors, guest services associates, custodial staff, and educational program assistants, demonstrating deep domain expertise in workforce solutions tailored to immersive historical environments.
