Aktina I. Daigle

Aktina I. Daigle serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, ensuring compliance with FAR and agency-specific procurement policies. She specializes in complex information technology services, overseeing solicitation development, source selection, contract award, and post-award administration. Her role is central to delivering mission-critical IT capabilities, with a focus on ensuring timely, cost-effective, and legally sound contract execution. Daigle typically handles performance-based, fixed-price and cost-reimbursement contracts for software development, systems integration, and technical consulting services, working closely with program managers and technical evaluators to align procurement outcomes with operational needs. Daigle maintains professional relationships with a diverse range of IT service providers, including large systems integrators and specialized software vendors. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for established industry partners with proven technical expertise in custom programming and computer services, though she actively engages with new entrants through competitive sealed bidding and small business set-asides. She fosters collaborative vendor relationships grounded in transparency, performance metrics, and contractual accountability, ensuring high standards of deliverables and compliance. Daigle’s procurement portfolio is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of her awards issued under full and open competition. While she does not currently utilize socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs, her approach emphasizes merit-based selection grounded in technical capability and past performance, ensuring equitable access for all qualified vendors under open competition rules. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541519 (Other Computer Related Services) and 541511 (Custom Computer Programming Services), each accounting for half of her activity combined, with an additional quarter dedicated to NAICS 511210 (Software Publishers). She consistently procures enterprise software solutions, bespoke applications, data analytics platforms, and IT consulting services, demonstrating deep familiarity with software development lifecycles, cloud-enabled architectures, and modern IT service delivery models.
