Charisse Y Marshall

Charisse Y. Marshall serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from requirements definition and market research through solicitation, evaluation, award, and contract administration. She plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with federal procurement regulations while advancing mission-critical technology and financial services initiatives. Her portfolio primarily encompasses complex information technology and financial systems contracts, requiring deep familiarity with FAR and DFARS provisions, performance-based acquisition strategies, and risk mitigation protocols. She routinely handles both competitive and sole-source procurements involving cloud infrastructure, data processing platforms, and transactional systems. Marshall collaborates with a diverse range of vendors, including large systems integrators, specialized IT service providers, and financial technology firms. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for established contractors with proven experience in secure, scalable infrastructure and compliance-heavy environments. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, she consistently engages vendors capable of delivering enterprise-grade solutions under strict security and audit requirements, fostering long-term partnerships grounded in performance accountability and transparent contract management. Marshall’s procurement activity is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of her awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic focus on maximizing market competition and technical capability rather than socioeconomic preferences. While she does not prioritize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, her approach ensures that all eligible vendors—regardless of size or certification—are evaluated on technical merit, past performance, and cost-effectiveness in a level playing field. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 518210, where she acquires computing infrastructure, data hosting, and cloud-based services; NAICS 522320, for financial transaction processing and clearinghouse systems; and NAICS 519190, covering other information services such as analytics platforms and digital content management. She possesses specialized expertise in procuring secure, interoperable systems that support high-volume data flows and regulatory compliance in financial and IT operational environments.
