Catherine E Holt

Catherine E. Holt serves as a General Services Officer responsible for managing the acquisition of essential administrative, logistical, and operational support services within her organization. In this role, she ensures compliance with federal procurement regulations while facilitating timely and cost-effective delivery of goods and services critical to day-to-day government operations. Her portfolio typically includes procurement of office supplies, facility management, transportation services, and other general services aligned with the Federal Acquisition Regulation. She plays a pivotal role in executing streamlined, transparent acquisitions that uphold integrity and efficiency across the agency’s mission-critical functions. Catherine maintains a broad and open contractor base, engaging with a diverse array of vendors ranging from large-capacity service providers to local small businesses. While no single contractor dominates her award profile, she consistently evaluates proposals based on value, past performance, and compliance with federal standards. Her contracting approach emphasizes competitive bidding, clear solicitation language, and equitable evaluation criteria, fostering a procurement environment that encourages participation from a wide spectrum of qualified vendors without favoring specific entities. Her set-aside preferences reflect a strong orientation toward open competition, with 100% of her acquisitions conducted without socioeconomic set-asides. This indicates a deliberate focus on full and open competition, prioritizing best-value outcomes over targeted socioeconomic programs. While she does not routinely utilize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, her processes remain fully compliant with all applicable small business statutes and ensure fair access for all eligible firms. Catherine’s procurement focus centers on general services under NAICS categories such as 561 (Administrative and Support Services), 562 (Waste Management and Remediation Services), and 488 (Support Activities for Transportation). She routinely acquires office equipment, custodial services, fleet management, and facility maintenance solutions, demonstrating expertise in low-complexity, high-volume procurements that require strict adherence to GSA schedules and standard contract vehicles. Her domain expertise lies in operational efficiency and regulatory compliance within the general services spectrum.
