Cynthia J. Randall

Cynthia J. Randall serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from requirement validation and market research through solicitation, evaluation, award, and contract administration. She plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and supports the agency’s mission by delivering mission-critical goods and services through transparent, competitive processes. Her portfolio primarily includes complex procurements in information services, research and development, and specialized manufacturing, with a focus on achieving value, efficiency, and regulatory integrity in every transaction. While no specific contractor relationships are currently identifiable due to limited award data, Randall’s procurement patterns suggest consistent engagement with a diverse pool of vendors, including both large-capability firms and small businesses, particularly in technical and service-oriented sectors. Her approach emphasizes fair competition and adherence to acquisition best practices, fostering collaborative relationships with vendors who demonstrate technical proficiency, past performance, and compliance with federal contracting standards. Randall demonstrates a strong preference for open competition, with 83.3% of her acquisitions conducted without set-aside restrictions. However, she actively supports small business participation, allocating 16.7% of her contracts to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a balanced commitment to maximizing competition while ensuring meaningful opportunities for small businesses to contribute to federal missions, consistent with statutory goals for socioeconomic contracting. Her primary NAICS focus areas include 511210 (Software Publishers), 326299 (All Other Rubber Product Manufacturing), and 541712 (Research and Development in the Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences), indicating expertise in procuring software solutions, industrial rubber products, and scientific R&D services. She also regularly engages vendors in business associations and specialty maintenance services, showcasing a diverse technical portfolio that spans digital infrastructure, industrial supply chains, and professional services.
