Demetrice N Parker

Demetrice N. Parker 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. In this role, Parker ensures compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and supports the agency’s mission by delivering timely, cost-effective solutions through competitive and transparent procurement processes. Their portfolio primarily encompasses information technology services and software-related procurements, with a strong emphasis on custom programming, data systems, and digital content delivery. Parker’s work is instrumental in aligning acquisition strategy with operational needs while maintaining rigorous oversight and accountability. Parker cultivates collaborative relationships with a diverse range of vendors, particularly those specializing in software development, computer systems integration, and marketing research services. While no single contractor dominates their award portfolio, their contracting patterns reflect consistent engagement with firms capable of delivering complex, technology-driven solutions under fixed-price and time-and-materials arrangements. Parker prioritizes vendor responsiveness, technical capability, and past performance, fostering a procurement environment that encourages innovation and accountability among contractors. A strong advocate for small business participation, Parker consistently applies set-asides in accordance with FAR Part 19, with nearly 17% of their awards designated for Total Small Business Set-Asides and over 5% reserved for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses. Their procurement strategy reflects a deliberate effort to expand economic opportunity, balancing broad competition with targeted socioeconomic initiatives to ensure equitable access to federal contracts. Parker’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 511210 (Software Publishers), accounting for over 70% of their activity, followed by custom computer programming services and computer equipment wholesale. This specialization underscores deep expertise in software acquisition, digital content development, and IT infrastructure support, positioning them as a key liaison between technical requirements and market capabilities in the federal IT ecosystem.
