Darlene T. McGee

Darlene T. McGee serves as a Buyer within the Federal Acquisition Service’s GSA FAS Region 4, where she plays a pivotal role in executing mission-critical technology acquisitions to support federal defense, aviation, and command-and-control systems. Her responsibilities encompass the full lifecycle procurement of advanced information technology solutions, including integrated computing platforms, secure communications infrastructure, and engineering support services. She works closely with technical stakeholders to translate operational requirements into compliant, performance-based solicitations, ensuring alignment with GSA’s mission to enhance federal mission readiness through innovative and reliable IT procurement. McGee maintains a consistent working relationship with AMD INTERNATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES LLC, a key vendor providing specialized IT systems and technical services critical to agency operations. Her procurement approach emphasizes performance outcomes, technical interoperability, and vendor accountability, fostering long-term partnerships with contractors who demonstrate proven capability in delivering complex, high-assurance solutions. She engages primarily with established technology integrators and system vendors capable of meeting stringent federal cybersecurity and compliance standards. Her contracting activity reflects a strong preference for full and open competition, with 100% of her awards issued under no set-aside conditions. This indicates a strategic focus on accessing the broadest possible pool of qualified vendors with the technical depth required for high-stakes federal systems, rather than prioritizing socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs. McGee’s procurement portfolio centers on information technology and engineering services, with a technical emphasis on enterprise computing, secure data networks, software development, and systems integration. She routinely procures solutions aligned with NAICS categories related to computer systems design, telecommunications, and IT consulting, supporting the modernization of defense and aviation infrastructure through scalable, secure, and mission-tailored technology deployments.
