Anne R. Dougherty

Anne R. Dougherty serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from requirement validation and market research through solicitation, evaluation, award, and contract administration. She plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with federal procurement regulations while advancing mission-critical objectives through strategic sourcing. Her portfolio primarily encompasses professional services, technical research, and specialized equipment procurement, with a focus on delivering high-value outcomes through competitive and transparent processes. Dougherty works closely with program managers and technical stakeholders to align contracting strategies with operational needs. While no specific contractor relationships are identifiable due to limited data, her procurement patterns suggest consistent engagement with a diverse pool of vendors, including small businesses and firms capable of delivering complex technical services. She maintains a neutral, competition-driven approach, prioritizing fair and open access to opportunities rather than reliance on a narrow set of suppliers. Her contracting style emphasizes due diligence, clear performance metrics, and accountability throughout contract execution. Dougherty’s set-aside preferences reflect a strong orientation toward full and open competition, with 100% of her acquisitions designated as “No Set-Aside.” This indicates a deliberate focus on maximizing competition across the marketplace rather than reserving awards for socioeconomic categories such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs. While she does not prioritize set-asides, her approach ensures that all eligible vendors—regardless of size or certification—compete on an equal footing under the best-value framework. Her primary NAICS focus areas include 511210 (Software Publishers), 335999 (Other Electrical Equipment Manufacturing), 811219 (Other Electronic Home Equipment Repair), 541712 (Research and Development in Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences), and 561591 (Convention and Visitors Bureaus). This diverse mix reveals expertise in procuring software solutions, specialized electrical components, technical R&D services, and event support functions, demonstrating a broad yet precise understanding of niche technical and professional service markets.
