Delayna L. Heisig

Delayna L. Heisig serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from market research and solicitation development to contract award and administration. She plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and supports her agency’s mission by delivering essential goods and services through transparent, competitive procurement processes. Her portfolio primarily encompasses complex procurements in technical and specialized service sectors, requiring careful evaluation of technical proposals, cost realism, and small business subcontracting plans. Heisig’s expertise lies in structuring acquisitions that balance mission needs with regulatory rigor and fiscal accountability. While specific contractor relationships are not publicly enumerated, Heisig’s contracting patterns reflect a balanced engagement with both large-capability vendors and small business concerns, consistent with her strong preference for small business set-asides. She routinely collaborates with vendors across diverse industrial sectors, fostering partnerships that emphasize performance, innovation, and socioeconomic compliance. Her working relationships are characterized by proactive communication, clear solicitation language, and a focus on building vendor capacity through fair and open competition. Heisig demonstrates a pronounced commitment to small business participation, with nearly 39% of her awards designated as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to expand opportunities for small businesses without relying on other socioeconomic programs such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides. Her procurement approach prioritizes broad-based small business inclusion, aligning with federal goals to promote economic equity and resilience within the supplier base. Her primary procurement focus centers on NAICS codes related to aerospace components, electrical measurement instrumentation, and specialized spectator sports services. These domains require deep technical understanding of manufacturing standards, calibration protocols, and event logistics support. Heisig’s expertise enables her to effectively evaluate technical specifications, ensure compliance with industry certifications, and select contractors capable of delivering mission-critical capabilities in these niche markets.
