Aleta Dust

Aleta Dust supports the Treasury Operations agency within the Department of the Treasury’s Departmental Offices, playing a key role in advancing digital infrastructure and financial governance through strategic acquisitions of technology and information services. Though her formal title is not specified, her procurement activities center on enabling modernization initiatives that enhance transparency, data accessibility, and operational efficiency across Treasury programs. She routinely manages acquisitions for custom software development, digital platform integration, and IT support services aligned with public financial reporting and legislative communication systems, ensuring compliance with federal procurement standards and mission-critical performance requirements. Her contractor relationships involve a diverse mix of firms specializing in information technology and systems integration, with consistent engagement with both large-capability vendors and small business concerns. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, she fosters collaborative partnerships with firms capable of delivering secure, scalable, and interoperable digital solutions, often requiring adherence to NIST cybersecurity frameworks and federal data standards. Her approach emphasizes vendor responsiveness, technical agility, and proven experience in federal financial systems environments. Aleta demonstrates a strong preference for non-set-aside contracts, with 75% of awards issued under open competition, yet she maintains a meaningful commitment to small business participation, regularly allocating nearly 25% of opportunities to small businesses, including 18.8% to total small business set-asides and 6.3% to service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses. This balanced approach ensures competitive rigor while advancing socioeconomic contracting goals under FAR Part 19. Her procurement focus is concentrated in NAICS 541519 (Other Computer Related Services) and 541511 (Custom Computer Programming Services), reflecting deep expertise in bespoke software development, data analytics platforms, and digital service delivery. Additional areas include electronic computer manufacturing and facility support services, indicating a multidisciplinary approach to modernizing Treasury’s technological ecosystem.
