Consuela L. Ginn

Consuela L. Ginn serves as a Contracting Officer and Executive Business Advisor, guiding the acquisition lifecycle for mission-critical technology and financial services solutions. In this dual role, she ensures compliance with federal procurement regulations while aligning contracting strategies with organizational objectives. She manages a diverse portfolio of solicitations under FAR Part 15, primarily conducting competitive negotiations for professional services contracts. Her expertise spans the full spectrum of acquisition phases—from market research and requirements definition to contract award and performance management—ensuring transparency, efficiency, and value for taxpayer investments. While no specific contractor relationships are identified, Ms. Ginn maintains a procurement environment that encourages broad market participation, engaging both large systems integrators and niche service providers across the IT and financial technology sectors. Her approach emphasizes fair and open competition, fostering collaborative vendor relationships grounded in performance-based outcomes and clear contractual obligations. She routinely engages with vendors through industry days, pre-solicitation meetings, and post-award debriefings to enhance market understanding and contract execution. Ms. Ginn demonstrates a strong preference for open competition, with 88.9% of her acquisitions issued without set-aside restrictions. However, she consistently supports small business participation, allocating 11.1% of her portfolio to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to cultivate a diverse supplier base while maintaining flexibility to meet mission needs. Her socioeconomic contracting patterns prioritize accessibility for small businesses without compromising competition or operational requirements. Her primary procurement focus lies in information technology services, with significant activity in NAICS 541519 (Other Computer Related Services) and 541513 (Computer Facilities Management Services). She also regularly procures financial transaction processing and credit intermediary services under NAICS 522320 and 522390. Her technical domain expertise centers on IT infrastructure support, custom software development, and back-office financial systems, ensuring the agency leverages modern, scalable solutions to meet evolving operational demands.
