Deidre M. Parker

Deidre M. Parker serves as an Acquisition Specialist responsible for managing the procurement lifecycle for complex hardware and fabricated metal components critical to federal operations. Her role centers on ensuring timely, compliant, and cost-effective acquisition of technical goods aligned with agency mission needs. She specializes in soliciting, evaluating, and awarding contracts under FAR Part 15, with a focus on competitive sealed bidding and negotiated procurements. Her acquisitions typically involve industrial-grade hardware, electronic components, and precision metal fasteners, requiring close coordination with technical evaluators and supply chain analysts to ensure performance specifications are met. While no specific contractor relationships are currently identifiable in the dataset, Parker’s procurement patterns indicate a preference for established manufacturers with proven capabilities in precision fabrication and electronic component production. She engages with a broad base of vendors, including both large industrial suppliers and qualified small businesses, fostering competitive environments that promote innovation and reliability. Her working relationships emphasize vendor responsiveness, quality assurance compliance, and adherence to technical specifications outlined in performance work statements. Parker’s contracting portfolio reflects a strong orientation toward open competition, with 92.7% of awards issued without set-aside restrictions. However, she consistently allocates 7.3% of her acquisitions to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a deliberate commitment to small business participation without prioritizing specific socioeconomic categories such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB. This balanced approach supports broad market access while maintaining procurement efficiency. Her primary industry focus lies in NAICS 332510 (Hardware Manufacturing) and 334419 (Other Electronic Component Manufacturing), reflecting deep expertise in procuring electromechanical assemblies, printed circuit board components, and precision-engineered metal fasteners. She also regularly acquires fabricated wire products and miscellaneous metal components under NAICS 332618 and 332999, indicating specialized knowledge in industrial supply chains for defense, aerospace, and infrastructure applications.
