Anna S. Croak

Anna S. Croak serves as a Contract Officer with the Virginia Department of General Services, where she plays a pivotal role in executing procurements that support the Commonwealth’s operational infrastructure. Her responsibilities encompass the full lifecycle management of contracts for essential support services, industrial equipment, and facility-related supplies, directly advancing the agency’s mission to ensure reliable food supply chains, efficient real estate management, and seamless administrative operations. Croak routinely handles competitive solicitations under FAR and VDGSA guidelines, with a focus on delivery orders, indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contracts, and service-based acquisitions requiring stringent performance metrics and compliance with state procurement statutes. While no specific contractor relationships are currently identified in the procurement record, Croak’s portfolio demonstrates consistent engagement with vendors providing temporary staffing solutions, commercial refrigeration systems, industrial material handling equipment, household appliance distribution, and commercial laundry services. Her contracting approach emphasizes vendor reliability, technical compliance, and service continuity, fostering long-term partnerships with suppliers capable of meeting the Commonwealth’s high-volume, low-latency operational demands. Croak’s procurement patterns reflect a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of her awards issued under the No Set-Aside category. This indicates a strategic focus on maximizing competition and value through broad market engagement rather than socioeconomic set-asides, though she remains compliant with all federal and state small business participation requirements. Her approach prioritizes performance outcomes over certification-based preferences, ensuring fiscal responsibility and market efficiency. Her primary NAICS focus includes Temporary Help Services (561320), Industrial Truck and Stacker Machinery Manufacturing (333924), Air-Conditioning and Refrigeration Equipment Manufacturing (333415), Household Appliances Merchant Wholesaling (423620), and Drycleaning and Laundry Services (812320). This reflects deep expertise in procuring mission-critical, high-utilization goods and services that underpin state facility operations, requiring technical knowledge of equipment specifications, service level agreements, and supply chain resilience standards.
