Cathy A Beasley

Cathy A. Beasley serves as a Contracting Officer responsible for managing the acquisition lifecycle for professional and technical services across federal programs. In this role, she ensures compliance with federal procurement regulations, including FAR Part 15 and Part 19, while advancing mission-critical objectives through transparent, competitive contracting processes. She typically handles complex service-based acquisitions involving software development, systems integration, and specialized technical consulting, often requiring detailed statement of work development and performance-based contracting methodologies. Beasley cultivates collaborative relationships with a diverse range of vendors, primarily engaging firms specializing in custom software development, IT support services, and professional consulting. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, she consistently works with both large systems integrators and small businesses capable of delivering agile, mission-aligned solutions. Her contracting approach emphasizes fair competition, clear performance metrics, and vendor accountability, fostering long-term partnerships grounded in compliance and quality delivery. Her procurement patterns reflect a strong preference for open competition, with 71.4% of awards issued without set-aside restrictions. However, she actively supports small business participation, allocating 28.6% of contracts to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a deliberate commitment to expanding opportunities for small businesses without favoring specific socioeconomic categories like 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB. This balanced approach ensures broad market access while maintaining competitive integrity. Beasley’s primary acquisition focus lies in NAICS 541511 (Custom Computer Programming Services) and 541519 (Other Computer Related Services), indicating deep expertise in software development, application modernization, and IT systems support. She also regularly procures services under 541990 (Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services), as well as real estate-related professional services under NAICS 531210 and 531390. Her technical domain spans digital transformation initiatives, data management systems, and operational support services critical to federal mission execution.
