Darlene Seminko

Darlene Seminko serves as a Contracting Officer responsible for managing complex professional and technical service acquisitions across a broad spectrum of scientific, engineering, and information technology domains. In her role, she ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while advancing mission-critical procurement objectives through transparent, competitive processes. She typically handles task and delivery order contracts under indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) vehicles, as well as sole-source and competed procurements for specialized consulting and R&D services. Her work directly supports agency operations requiring high-level technical expertise, data-driven solutions, and innovative service delivery models. While specific contractor names are not available, Seminko maintains a diverse vendor ecosystem characterized by partnerships with both large-capability firms and small businesses offering niche technical services. Her procurement patterns reflect a balanced approach—engaging established service providers for scalable solutions while actively cultivating relationships with small businesses capable of delivering specialized, high-value consulting and programming services. She emphasizes performance-based contracting and outcome-driven requirements to ensure accountability and mission alignment across vendor engagements. Seminko demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting goals, with over 30% of her awards designated as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5 and nearly 4% awarded through 8(a) competed programs. Her set-aside preferences reflect a deliberate strategy to expand opportunities for small businesses, particularly those certified under federal socioeconomic programs, while maintaining competition and value for the government. The majority of her acquisitions remain open to all competitors, indicating a preference for broad market engagement unless specific small business participation aligns with mission needs. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541690 (Other Scientific and Technical Consulting Services), 541511 (Custom Computer Programming Services), and 541712 (R&D in Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences), indicating deep expertise in engineering consulting, software development, and applied scientific research. She regularly procures services related to systems integration, data analytics, computational modeling, and IT infrastructure support, demonstrating a technical acumen that aligns closely with modern digital transformation and mission-critical innovation initiatives.
