Alma D Haynesworth

Alma D. Haynesworth serves as a Contract Negotiator responsible for facilitating the acquisition of professional, scientific, and technical services critical to federal operational efficiency. In this role, she leads the negotiation, evaluation, and award phases of complex procurements, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and promoting competitive, transparent contracting practices. Her work directly supports the agency’s mission to secure high-quality, cost-effective solutions through strategic sourcing and risk-managed contract execution. She routinely handles task orders and indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contracts under broad professional services categories, emphasizing performance-based outcomes and clear statement of work development. Haynesworth collaborates with a diverse array of vendors, primarily professional services firms offering specialized expertise in technical consulting, research support, and facilities management. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, she cultivates relationships with both large primes and small business subcontractors, fostering a competitive environment that encourages innovation and responsiveness. Her negotiation approach prioritizes clarity in deliverables, measurable performance metrics, and timely contract modifications to adapt to evolving mission needs. Her contracting patterns reflect a strong preference for unrestricted, open competitions, with 100% of her awards issued under the “No Set-Aside” category. This indicates a focus on maximizing competition and selecting the most qualified offerors regardless of socioeconomic status, rather than targeting specific small business programs such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB. Her approach aligns with mission-critical requirements where technical capability and past performance outweigh socioeconomic preferences. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541990 (All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services), encompassing advisory services, data analysis, and technical support functions, complemented by NAICS 561210 (Facilities Support Services) for administrative, logistical, and facility management solutions. She specializes in acquiring non-clinical, mission-enabling services that require subject matter expertise and scalable delivery models, demonstrating deep familiarity with performance-based acquisition frameworks and service-level agreement structures.
