Audra L. Dorn

Audra Dorn serves as a Contracting Officer responsible for managing federal acquisitions across a diverse range of technical and service-based requirements. She plays a critical role in executing the agency’s procurement mission by ensuring compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), promoting fair competition, and aligning contract awards with mission-critical needs. Her portfolio primarily encompasses security systems services, commercial equipment maintenance, audiovisual equipment procurement, and specialized industrial services. Dorn is known for her methodical approach to solicitation development, source selection, and contract administration, with a strong emphasis on risk mitigation and performance accountability. While specific contractor names are not publicly available, Audra Dorn maintains consistent relationships with a broad spectrum of vendors, including small businesses, mid-tier service providers, and manufacturers specializing in niche industrial sectors. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for competitive, transparent processes that encourage both established suppliers and emerging market participants to engage. She fosters collaborative vendor relationships grounded in clear performance expectations and regulatory adherence, ensuring accountability throughout the contract lifecycle. Dorn demonstrates a robust commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with nearly three-quarters of her awards issued under open competition, while actively supporting small business participation. Approximately 26% of her contracts are set aside for total small businesses under FAR 19.5, and a notable 4.3% are reserved exclusively for service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses (SDVOSBs). Her procurement strategy reflects a balanced approach—prioritizing market competition while intentionally advancing opportunities for disadvantaged and veteran-owned enterprises. Her technical focus centers on NAICS 561621 (Security Systems Services), where she regularly procures integrated surveillance, access control, and monitoring solutions. Additional expertise includes commercial machinery repair (811310), audiovisual equipment manufacturing (334310), and specialized industrial services such as blind and shade manufacturing (337920) and commercial laundry operations (812320). This multidisciplinary portfolio underscores her ability to manage complex, non-traditional acquisitions requiring precise technical specifications and vendor qualification standards.
