Delecia Owens serves as an Acquisition Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of complex procurement actions, from market research and solicitation development to contract award and administration. She plays a pivotal role in advancing the agency’s mission by ensuring timely, compliant, and cost-effective acquisition of specialized electronic components and advanced sensing systems.

She routinely handles high-technology acquisitions requiring deep technical evaluation and risk mitigation strategies. Delecia cultivates collaborative relationships with a diverse range of contractors, including small businesses, mid-tier manufacturers, and specialized technology providers. While no single contractor dominates her award profile, she consistently engages with firms capable of delivering precision electronic components and mission-critical navigation and detection systems. Her contracting approach prioritizes vendor responsiveness, technical capability, and past performance, fostering long-term partnerships built on compliance and reliability. She actively encourages new entrants into the federal marketplace through transparent solicitation practices and early vendor engagement. Delecia demonstrates a robust commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with over half of her acquisitions structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. She also regularly utilizes HUBZone set-asides, reflecting a deliberate focus on promoting economic development in underserved communities. Her contracting patterns reveal a strong preference for small business participation, aligning with federal goals to increase contracting opportunities for disadvantaged and geographically targeted firms. She consistently structures solicitations to maximize small business eligibility and actively supports mentor-protégé initiatives. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 334419 (Other Electronic Component Manufacturing), where she acquires circuit boards, sensors, and embedded systems. She also frequently procures products under NAICS 334511 (Aeronautical and Nautical Instrument Manufacturing) and 335129 (Other Electrical Equipment Manufacturing), indicating deep expertise in defense-adjacent, high-reliability electronics. Delecia’s technical domain spans avionics, guidance systems, and mission-critical instrumentation, requiring precise adherence to military and industrial standards.
