Anthony Adeleke

Anthony Adeleke serves as a Contract Specialist within the Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, where he plays a critical role in executing procurements that advance the agency’s mission of ensuring equitable access to nutritious food through evidence-based program delivery. He manages the full lifecycle of acquisitions for technical and analytical services supporting federal nutrition assistance programs, including SNAP, WIC, and the National School Lunch Program. His work centers on securing consulting and research services that inform policy development, program evaluation, and operational modernization, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and strategic alignment with FNS’s data-driven priorities. Adeleke collaborates with a diverse range of contractors specializing in social science research and technical consulting, primarily engaging firms with expertise in program evaluation, behavioral analysis, and public health policy design. While no single contractor dominates his portfolio, he consistently partners with firms capable of delivering rigorous, independent assessments of nutrition program outcomes and implementation challenges. His contracting approach emphasizes performance-based requirements, clear deliverables, and measurable impact, fostering long-term vendor relationships grounded in accountability and subject-matter proficiency. Adeleke’s procurement patterns reflect a strong preference for open, unrestricted competition, with 100% of his acquisitions classified as “No Set-Aside.” This indicates a focus on selecting the most qualified vendors based on technical merit and past performance rather than socioeconomic designations, though he remains compliant with all federal small business goals and may consider set-aside opportunities when aligned with acquisition objectives. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541720 (Research and Development in the Social Sciences and Humanities) and 541690 (Other Scientific and Technical Consulting Services), reflecting his specialization in securing evaluative, analytical, and policy-oriented services. He routinely procures services related to survey design, data analysis, impact assessment, and program optimization, supporting FNS’s commitment to evidence-based decision-making and continuous improvement in federal nutrition assistance.
