Beatrice S. Dukes

Beatrice S. Dukes serves as a Contracting Officer responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from requirement validation and market research through solicitation, award, and contract administration. Her role is central to ensuring compliance with federal procurement regulations while advancing mission-critical objectives through timely and efficient contract execution. She specializes in complex, high-stakes procurements within the real estate sector, particularly those involving property management, facility services, and commercial real estate operations. Her acquisitions are typically sole-source or competitive sealed bid, emphasizing transparency, fairness, and regulatory adherence across all phases of the procurement process. While no specific contractor relationships are currently identifiable in the data, Ms. Dukes engages with a broad spectrum of vendors capable of delivering real estate and property management services, including firms with expertise in facility operations, maintenance, leasing, and asset management. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for established, capable contractors with proven performance histories, often selecting through full and open competition due to the specialized nature of the requirements. She maintains a professional, arms-length relationship with vendors, ensuring strict adherence to ethical standards and avoidance of conflicts of interest. Ms. Dukes demonstrates a strong commitment to full and open competition, with 100% of her awards issued without set-aside designations. This reflects a strategic alignment with agency priorities that prioritize technical capability and operational readiness over socioeconomic preferences. While she does not currently utilize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, her procurement decisions are grounded in merit-based evaluation criteria that ensure the best value for the government. Her primary focus is on NAICS Code 523110—Real Estate Property Managers—which encompasses the administration, leasing, and operational oversight of commercial, institutional, and government-owned properties. She procures services related to property maintenance, tenant relations, energy management, compliance reporting, and facility security, requiring contractors with deep domain expertise in real estate operations and federal facility standards.
