Cathy S Collier

Cathy S. Collier serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from requirements definition through contract award and administration. She plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) while advancing agency mission objectives through timely, transparent, and competitive procurement processes. Her portfolio primarily encompasses service-based contracts, with a focus on maintenance, logistics, security, and information technology support services. Collier’s work supports efficient resource allocation and ensures that procurements align with statutory mandates and best practices in public contracting. While specific contractor names are not available, Collier maintains a broad network of vendor partnerships across small business and commercial sectors. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for competitive, open-market solicitations, yet she actively engages with small business concerns through structured set-aside programs. She fosters collaborative relationships with vendors who demonstrate capacity to deliver complex, performance-based services under fixed-price and cost-reimbursement contract types, emphasizing accountability and measurable outcomes. Collier demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with nearly 48% of her awards designated for small businesses, including a significant share—42.9%—under Total Small Business Set-Asides (FAR 19.5). She also consistently utilizes Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) and 8(a) competed set-asides, reflecting a deliberate strategy to promote equitable access to federal contracting opportunities for historically underserved entrepreneurs. Her approach aligns with federal goals to increase small business participation while maintaining rigorous competition. Her primary procurement focus centers on NAICS 811310 for commercial and industrial machinery repair and maintenance, followed by key areas in security and patrol services (561612), couriers and express delivery (492110), and information services (519290). This specialization indicates deep expertise in procuring operational support services critical to infrastructure resilience, logistics efficiency, and information management. Collier’s technical domain knowledge enables her to craft precise statements of work and evaluate technical proposals with precision, ensuring that acquisitions meet mission-critical performance standards.
