Debra T Hoffman

Debra T. Hoffman serves as a Contracting Officer responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from requirements definition through contract award and administration. She plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) while advancing mission-critical procurement objectives. Her portfolio primarily encompasses professional services, including administrative management consulting, telemarketing and contact center operations, and information technology infrastructure services. Hoffman’s acquisitions are characterized by a strategic emphasis on performance-based contracting, clear statement of work development, and rigorous source selection processes that prioritize value, quality, and accountability. While specific contractor names are not available, Hoffman maintains a diverse vendor ecosystem that includes both large professional services firms and small business concerns. Her contracting patterns reflect a balanced approach to competition, with a strong preference for open, unrestricted procurements while actively engaging small businesses through targeted set-asides. She fosters collaborative relationships with vendors who demonstrate operational excellence, past performance, and compliance with socioeconomic requirements, ensuring a resilient and responsive supplier base. Hoffman exhibits a clear preference for non-set-aside acquisitions, with 75% of her awards issued under full and open competition. However, she consistently supports small business participation, allocating 16.7% of her awards to 8(a) competed contracts and 8.3% to total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This demonstrates a deliberate effort to balance competitive efficiency with statutory obligations to promote socioeconomic inclusion in federal contracting. Her primary NAICS focus areas include 561422 (Telemarketing and Contact Centers), 541611 (Management Consulting Services), 518210 (Data Processing and Hosting), 541990 (Other Professional Services), and 541930 (Translation and Interpretation Services). These reflect a specialization in administrative support, digital infrastructure, and language services, indicating deep expertise in procuring complex, labor-intensive professional services that require stringent performance metrics and compliance frameworks.
