D'Andre Taylor

D’Andre Taylor is a procurement professional responsible for managing a diverse portfolio of information technology and professional services acquisitions within a federal agency. He plays a critical role in executing the agency’s mission by ensuring timely, compliant, and efficient contracting for essential support services. His work primarily centers on IT-related professional services, including computer training, consulting, and travel logistics, aligning acquisitions with operational needs while adhering to federal procurement regulations under the FAR. Taylor’s acquisitions are typically classified as services rather than goods, with a strong emphasis on performance-based contracting and outcome-driven deliverables. Taylor maintains a broad vendor base, engaging with both large prime contractors and small businesses across multiple sectors. While no single contractor dominates his award profile, his contracting patterns reflect a preference for established service providers with demonstrated expertise in IT support, training delivery, and administrative services. He frequently collaborates with firms offering specialized technical capabilities, ensuring solutions are tailored to evolving agency requirements without reliance on any single vendor. His procurement strategy is overwhelmingly non-set-aside, with 95.5% of awards issued under full and open competition, indicating a focus on market-wide competition and value-driven outcomes. However, he consistently reserves 4.5% of opportunities for Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a measured but intentional commitment to small business participation without compromising acquisition flexibility or competitiveness. Taylor’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541519 (Other Computer Related Services), where he secures custom software support, systems integration, and IT consulting. He also frequently procures services under NAICS 611420 (Computer Training) and 561510 (Travel Agencies), reflecting a strategic need for workforce development and mobility support. His technical domain expertise spans digital transformation initiatives, administrative efficiency programs, and mission-critical service delivery, making him a key steward of agile, compliant, and results-oriented federal contracting.
