Diane M. Hulett serves as a Contract Specialist with the Defense Finance and Accounting Service (DFAS), where she plays a critical role in executing procurements that support the agency’s mission of delivering secure, scalable financial management and accounting services across the Department of Defense. She manages the full lifecycle of acquisitions—from requirements validation and market research to contract award and administration—ensuring compliance with FAR and DFARS regulations. Her portfolio primarily includes service-based contracts aligned with DFAS’s operational infrastructure, including IT modernization, financial system support, and facility services essential to sustaining audit readiness and fiscal accountability. Hulett maintains consistent working relationships with a range of contractors, including Soderberg Company Inc., Ecology Mir Group LLC, Bloomberg Industry Group, Inc., and Roche Diagnostics Corporation Indianapolis. These partnerships reflect a mix of specialized service providers delivering financial reporting tools, environmental compliance support, and operational maintenance services. Her procurement approach emphasizes vendor reliability, regulatory adherence, and performance-based outcomes, fostering long-term contractor engagement grounded in clear deliverables and accountability mechanisms. Her contracting patterns show a strong preference for open competition, with 81% of awards issued without set-aside designations. However, she actively supports small business participation, allocating approximately 14.3% of awards to total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5 and 4.8% to HUBZone firms, demonstrating a balanced commitment to socioeconomic goals while prioritizing mission-critical efficiency. Hulett’s primary NAICS focus areas include Janitorial Services (561720), Information Services (511210), and Commercial and Industrial Machinery Repair (811310), indicating a procurement profile centered on facility operations, data and reporting systems, and maintenance of mission-critical equipment. Her expertise lies in acquiring non-IT professional services that underpin DFAS’s day-to-day operational resilience, ensuring seamless financial workflows across federal and military installations.
