Capt. Andrea Buckley

Capt. Andrea Buckley serves as a Buyer responsible for executing full-cycle procurement actions in support of federal operational requirements. She manages the acquisition lifecycle from market research and solicitation development through contract award and administration, ensuring compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation and agency-specific policies. Her role is central to delivering mission-critical goods and services efficiently and transparently, with a focus on timely delivery and fiscal accountability. She typically handles moderate to high-complexity acquisitions involving logistics, facility support, information technology infrastructure, and professional services, often requiring coordination across multiple stakeholders to meet operational timelines. Capt. Buckley maintains a broad network of vendor relationships, engaging with both large prime contractors and small business subcontractors to meet diverse mission needs. While no specific contractor patterns are identifiable in current data, her procurement approach emphasizes competitive bidding, open market opportunities, and fair and reasonable pricing. She fosters collaborative relationships with vendors through clear communication, prompt responsiveness to inquiries, and adherence to contract performance metrics, ensuring high levels of vendor satisfaction and compliance. Capt. Buckley’s contracting patterns reflect a strong preference for open, unrestricted competition, with 100% of her awards issued under non-set-aside authorities. This indicates a strategic focus on maximizing competition and value rather than socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs. While she does not prioritize socioeconomic categories in her award decisions, she remains fully compliant with all small business participation requirements and encourages small business involvement through subcontracting opportunities within larger contracts. Her procurement portfolio spans a wide range of technical domains, with a focus on general support services, administrative systems, and operational equipment. Though specific NAICS codes are not available, her acquisitions likely include categories such as 541611 (Administrative Management), 541519 (Other Computer Related Services), and 334511 (Electrical Equipment Manufacturing). Her expertise lies in procuring standardized, non-specialized goods and services that support day-to-day government operations with an emphasis on reliability, scalability, and regulatory compliance.
