Donna Berkowitz

Donna Berkowitz serves as a Contracting Officer responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, ensuring compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation and promoting efficient, transparent procurement practices. She oversees a diverse portfolio of service-based contracts, primarily focused on hospitality, information technology, and building support services. Her role is central to fulfilling the agency’s mission by delivering mission-critical resources through competitive, compliant, and strategically aligned contracting actions. Berkowitz routinely handles indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contracts, task orders, and simplified acquisitions, balancing operational needs with fiscal accountability and regulatory rigor. While specific contractor names are not available, Berkowitz maintains consistent engagement with a broad spectrum of vendors, including small businesses, general service providers, and specialized service contractors. Her procurement patterns reflect a preference for open competition, with the majority of awards issued under non-set-aside authorities. She cultivates relationships with firms capable of delivering scalable, high-quality services across multiple domains, fostering a vendor ecosystem that supports operational continuity and innovation. Berkowitz demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with 18.8% of her awards designated as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. Though she does not routinely utilize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, her consistent use of small business set-asides signals a deliberate effort to expand economic opportunity and enhance competition among qualified small entities. Her socioeconomic contracting approach aligns with federal goals to increase small business access to federal markets without relying on targeted socioeconomically disadvantaged programs. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 721110 (Hotels and Motels), reflecting a significant need for lodging and hospitality services, followed by NAICS 519190 (Other Information Services), which encompasses digital content and data services. She also frequently procures building equipment contracting services (NAICS 238290) and specialized support services such as court reporting and computer-related technical assistance. This specialization indicates deep expertise in managing service contracts requiring operational reliability, compliance with facility standards, and technical precision.
