Debora Ann Pitts

Debora Ann Pitts 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 advancing agency mission objectives through strategic sourcing. Her portfolio primarily consists of professional services contracts, with a strong emphasis on management consulting and technology-enabled solutions. Pitts routinely handles competitive procurements under both full and open competition and targeted set-asides, ensuring transparency, fairness, and regulatory adherence across all stages of acquisition. Pitts collaborates with a diverse range of vendors, including large professional services firms and small business contractors specializing in administrative, logistics, and IT consulting. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, her award patterns reflect a balanced approach to vendor engagement, fostering competition among both established firms and emerging small businesses. She maintains consistent, relationship-based interactions with contractors, emphasizing clear communication, performance accountability, and timely contract modifications to support mission-critical service delivery. A strong advocate for socioeconomic contracting, Pitts demonstrates a clear preference for small business participation, with nearly 55% of her awards directed toward small business set-asides. Her most frequent use of set-asides includes Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5 and 8(a) competed contracts, with additional awards reserved for Women-Owned Small Businesses. This pattern underscores her commitment to expanding economic opportunity and meeting federal small business goals through intentional, compliant procurement strategies. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541611—Administrative Management and General Management Consulting Services—reflecting deep expertise in procuring strategic advisory, organizational development, and operational efficiency services. She also regularly acquires related services under NAICS 541519 (Other Computer Related Services), 541614 (Process and Logistics Consulting), and 624310 (Vocational Rehabilitation Services), demonstrating a nuanced understanding of technical and social service domains. Pitts’ work ensures that agency operations are supported by high-quality, mission-aligned professional services delivered by qualified contractors.
