Charley Yancey

Charley Yancey serves as a Contract Specialist at the Securities and Exchange Commission, where they play a pivotal role in executing procurements that support the agency’s mission to safeguard market integrity and protect investors through advanced data systems and analytical platforms. Responsible for managing the full lifecycle of acquisition actions, Yancey specializes in complex information technology and data services contracts, ensuring compliance with federal procurement regulations while aligning acquisitions with the SEC’s strategic priorities in market surveillance, fraud detection, and regulatory technology modernization. Their work directly enables the agency’s operational capacity to process and analyze vast volumes of financial data in real time. Yancey maintains consistent working relationships with leading federal contractors including General Dynamics Information Technology, Booz Allen Hamilton, Maximus Federal Consulting, Team GreenZone JV, and Procentrix, LLC. These partnerships are centered on high-demand technical services such as cybersecurity, data analytics, systems integration, and mission-critical software development. The contracting approach reflects a preference for established large-capability vendors with proven experience in federal financial and regulatory environments, fostering long-term, performance-based collaborations that prioritize scalability, reliability, and compliance. Yancey’s procurement portfolio shows no use of socioeconomic set-asides, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic focus on leveraging broad market capabilities to meet urgent technical demands, rather than targeting specific small business categories such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs. While small business participation is not formally prioritized in award structure, all procurements adhere strictly to FAR requirements for fair and transparent competition. The majority of Yancey’s acquisitions fall under NAICS 511130 (Software Publishers) and 424920 (Book, Periodical, and Newspaper Merchant Wholesalers), indicating a primary focus on proprietary financial data platforms, regulatory reporting systems, and digital content delivery solutions critical to SEC’s oversight functions. Their expertise lies in procuring advanced analytical tools, data aggregation engines, and compliance automation services that underpin the agency’s real-time market monitoring capabilities.
