Charlene B. Miller

Charlene B. Miller serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of procurement actions related to energy infrastructure and power generation systems. She plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations while advancing mission-critical energy objectives through competitive, transparent contracting processes. Her portfolio primarily encompasses complex, technical acquisitions for electric power generation facilities, including both conventional and renewable energy systems. She collaborates closely with technical evaluators, program managers, and legal advisors to develop solicitation documents, conduct source selections, and administer performance-based contracts that emphasize cost efficiency, reliability, and regulatory adherence. Charlene works with a diverse range of contractors specializing in power plant design, construction, operation, and maintenance services. While no single vendor dominates her award profile, she consistently engages firms with demonstrated expertise in large-scale energy systems, including engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) contractors, independent power producers, and specialized service providers. Her contracting approach emphasizes competitive bidding, clear performance metrics, and rigorous post-award oversight to ensure contractor accountability and operational readiness. Charlene’s procurement activity reflects a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of her awards issued under non-set-aside conditions. This indicates a focus on technical merit and market-wide competition rather than socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs. Her approach prioritizes capability and capacity over socioeconomic categorization, aligning with agency needs for specialized, large-scale energy infrastructure solutions. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 221112 (Fossil Fuel Electric Power Generation) and 221114 (Solar Electric Power Generation), reflecting deep expertise in thermal and photovoltaic energy systems. She routinely procures turnkey power plants, grid interconnection services, emissions control equipment, and renewable energy integration technologies. Her technical domain knowledge spans power plant operations, energy storage compatibility, and compliance with environmental and grid reliability standards.
