Anissa L Burley

Anissa L. Burley serves as a Contract Specialist for the Department of Defense Education Activity (DoDEA), where she manages the acquisition lifecycle for critical educational and operational support services across global school communities. Her role encompasses the full spectrum of contract formation, including solicitation development, source selection, negotiation, and post-award administration, ensuring compliance with FAR and DFARS requirements. She supports DoDEA’s mission to deliver high-quality K-12 education by procuring solutions that enhance curriculum delivery, student support systems, and institutional infrastructure in geographically dispersed environments. Burley maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors including AMD International Technologies LLC, CoreTech Consulting Inc., Effective Communication Strategies LLC, Residential Enhancements, Inc., and FGI Solutions LLC. These partnerships span educational technology, instructional design, facility enhancements, and IT infrastructure services. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for established vendors with proven experience in military-connected educational settings, fostering long-term, performance-based collaborations that prioritize reliability and mission alignment. Her procurement portfolio is overwhelmingly dominated by open, unrestricted competitions, with only 5.9% of awards designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. While she does not routinely utilize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, her approach reflects a strategic emphasis on capability and compliance over socioeconomic preferences, aligning with DoDEA’s operational urgency and specialized service requirements. Burley’s primary NAICS focus areas include Educational Support Services (611710), Software Publishing (511210), and Computer and Peripheral Equipment Wholesaling (423430), indicating a strong emphasis on curriculum development tools, digital learning platforms, and educational technology hardware. She routinely procures instructional materials, student information systems, and facility upgrades tailored to the unique needs of DoD-affiliated schools, demonstrating deep expertise in the intersection of education technology and military community infrastructure.
