Delvena Carlyle

Delvena Carlyle serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from requirements validation and market research to contract award and administration. She plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and promoting efficient, transparent procurement practices. Her portfolio primarily encompasses professional services and specialized equipment procurement, with a focus on healthcare delivery and technical support solutions. Carlyle works closely with program stakeholders to align contracting strategies with mission objectives, ensuring timely and legally sound contract actions that support operational readiness and service delivery. While specific contractor names are not available, Carlyle engages with a diverse pool of vendors, including small businesses and specialized service providers, fostering competitive bidding environments and ensuring broad market participation. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for open competition, with a strong emphasis on fair and equitable vendor engagement. She routinely collaborates with industry representatives during pre-solicitation outreach and source selection events to clarify requirements and enhance proposal quality. Carlyle demonstrates a pronounced commitment to small business participation, with nearly half of her acquisitions structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to expand opportunities for small businesses without further socioeconomic subcategories such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB. Her approach prioritizes accessibility and competition among small firms, aligning with broader agency goals to increase small business contract obligations while maintaining fiscal responsibility. Her primary procurement focus lies within five NAICS categories: Linen Supply (812331), Irradiation Apparatus Manufacturing (334517), Diagnostic Imaging Centers (621512), Offices of Physicians (621111), and Other Miscellaneous Ambulatory Health Care Services (621999). These reflect a specialized expertise in healthcare infrastructure and medical technology procurement, encompassing everything from diagnostic equipment to facility-based support services. Carlyle’s technical domain knowledge enables her to accurately define performance requirements and evaluate technical proposals in complex clinical and operational environments.
