Eleanor Zachery

Eleanor A. Zachery serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from requirement validation and market research to contract award and administration. She plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with FAR regulations while aligning procurement activities with agency mission objectives. Her portfolio primarily encompasses professional, scientific, and technical services, with a strong emphasis on training, custom software development, and specialized support services. Zachery works closely with program managers and acquisition teams to develop solicitation strategies that balance technical needs with socioeconomic goals, ensuring transparent and competitive procurement processes. While specific contractor names are not available, Zachery maintains a diverse vendor ecosystem, engaging both large-capability firms and small businesses across multiple sectors. Her contracting patterns reflect a balanced approach to competition, with a notable preference for open, unrestricted solicitations alongside targeted small business set-asides. She fosters collaborative relationships with vendors through clear communication, timely feedback, and adherence to fair and impartial acquisition practices, promoting a reliable and responsive supplier base. Zachery demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with 37.5% of her acquisitions designated as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. Her contracting approach prioritizes opportunities for small businesses without reliance on other socioeconomic programs such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB, indicating a preference for broad-based small business inclusion rather than targeted certifications. This pattern reflects a strategic effort to maximize competition among qualified small firms while maintaining flexibility in sourcing. Her primary NAICS focus areas include 541990 (All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services), 541511 (Custom Computer Programming Services), and 611430 (Professional and Management Development Training), underscoring expertise in technical consulting, workforce development, and software customization. She also procures specialized services such as court reporting and metal window and door manufacturing, reflecting a diverse technical portfolio that spans both IT and physical infrastructure domains. Zachery’s work supports mission-critical functions through tailored, high-integrity acquisitions across multiple technical disciplines.
