Debra Stuart

Debra Stuart serves as a Contracting Officer within the GSA Federal Acquisition Service (FAS) Region 3, where she plays a pivotal role in executing mission-critical acquisitions for federal defense and civilian agencies. Her portfolio centers on procuring enterprise IT modernization services, cybersecurity enhancements, and professional training solutions aligned with the agency’s mandate to drive digital transformation across high-priority national security programs. She manages full lifecycle contract actions—from solicitation and evaluation to award and administration—ensuring compliance with FAR and agency-specific policies while advancing strategic objectives in IT infrastructure sustainment and operational resilience. Debra collaborates with a diverse range of vendors specializing in IT services, systems integration, and professional development, fostering partnerships grounded in performance-based contracting and outcome-driven deliverables. While no single contractor dominates her award profile, she consistently engages firms with demonstrated expertise in legacy system modernization, cloud migration, and mission-critical support services. Her working relationships emphasize vendor accountability, technical competency, and adherence to federal procurement integrity standards. Debra’s contracting activity reflects a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of her awards designated as non-set-aside. This underscores her focus on maximizing competition and value through broad market engagement rather than socioeconomic set-asides. While she does not prioritize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, her approach ensures equitable access for all qualified vendors while maintaining rigorous performance and compliance thresholds. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541519 (Other Computer Related Services), where she acquires IT consulting, systems analysis, and technical support solutions. She also regularly procures professional training and management development services under NAICS 611430 and 541618, as well as educational services under 611310. Her domain expertise spans enterprise IT modernization, cybersecurity enablement, workforce upskilling, and digital service delivery—particularly in environments requiring integration with legacy defense systems and compliance with federal information security standards.
