Dauphine B. Vicks

Dauphine B. Vicks serves as a Senior Contract Specialist responsible for managing complex acquisition programs across federal procurement channels. In this role, she ensures compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) while executing full lifecycle contracting actions—from market research and solicitation development to award and contract administration. Her work supports mission-critical operations by securing specialized services that enhance operational readiness and infrastructure resilience. She routinely handles competitive and non-competitive procurements for technical and professional services, with a focus on security systems, facility support, and transit-related infrastructure. Vicks cultivates strategic relationships with a diverse pool of vendors, particularly those certified under socioeconomic programs, fostering long-term partnerships grounded in performance accountability and regulatory adherence. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, she consistently engages with firms capable of delivering integrated security solutions, HVAC systems, and transit support services. Her contracting approach emphasizes transparency, fair competition, and vendor collaboration to ensure high-quality deliverables aligned with agency objectives. A strong advocate for small business participation, Vicks prioritizes set-aside opportunities, with over half of her acquisitions designated as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. She also actively utilizes HUBZone set-asides, reflecting a deliberate commitment to geographic and economic equity in federal contracting. Her patterns demonstrate a consistent effort to expand access for small, disadvantaged, and community-based businesses, reinforcing the government’s socioeconomic goals through intentional procurement planning. Her technical expertise centers on NAICS 561621 (Security Systems Services), where she leads procurements for surveillance, access control, and threat detection systems. She also regularly acquires plumbing, heating, and air-conditioning services (238220), transit operations support (485999), and commercial HVAC equipment manufacturing (333415). This specialization reflects deep domain knowledge in facility infrastructure and security integration, positioning her as a trusted advisor in complex, multi-disciplinary acquisitions.
