Diana McLain serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from requirements validation and solicitation development to contract award and administration. She plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and supports the agency’s mission by delivering essential services through transparent, competitive procurement processes. Her portfolio primarily includes service-based contracts requiring technical oversight and performance-based management, with a focus on facilities support, construction, and communications infrastructure.

Her approach emphasizes fair competition, clear performance metrics, and consistent contract compliance, fostering long-term relationships with contractors who demonstrate reliability, technical proficiency, and adherence to federal standards. Diana demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with 20% of her awards directed toward small business set-asides—specifically 10% to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5 and another 10% to Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSBs). She actively promotes small business participation through targeted outreach and strategic use of set-aside authorities, aligning procurement decisions with federal goals for equitable economic opportunity. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 561210 (Facilities Support Services), where she manages cleaning, maintenance, and logistical support contracts.
