Colleen E Lewis

Colleen E. Lewis serves as an Acquisitions Officer responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal procurement actions, ensuring compliance with FAR regulations and advancing mission-critical capabilities through strategic sourcing. She oversees the planning, solicitation, evaluation, and award of contracts for educational and technical services, aligning acquisition strategies with organizational objectives. Her portfolio primarily involves complex service-based acquisitions requiring detailed performance specifications, including training programs, instructional support, and IT-enabled learning solutions. Lewis plays a pivotal role in translating agency needs into enforceable contractual requirements while maintaining rigorous oversight of contractor performance and compliance. While specific contractor names are not available, her procurement patterns indicate consistent engagement with a diverse pool of vendors, particularly those qualified under small business programs. She fosters partnerships with firms capable of delivering scalable, outcomes-driven educational and technical services, often requiring specialized subject matter expertise in adult learning, curriculum design, and digital education platforms. Her working relationships reflect a preference for vendors with demonstrated capacity in performance-based contracting and robust quality assurance frameworks. Lewis demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with nearly 43% of her awards designated as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, and nearly 3% awarded through 8(a) competed procedures. Her approach prioritizes expanding opportunities for small businesses, particularly those certified under the 8(a) program, while maintaining a balanced portfolio that includes non-set-aside acquisitions to ensure competition and value. This pattern reflects a deliberate strategy to promote equitable access while meeting mission requirements. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 611710 (Educational Support Services), which constitutes over 45% of her activity, followed by 541519 (Other Computer Related Services) and 611430 (Professional and Management Development Training). She routinely procures curriculum development, instructor-led and virtual training, language instruction, and learning management system support services, demonstrating deep expertise in human capital development and technology-enhanced education solutions.
