Donna Crowley

Donna Crowley serves as a Contract Specialist within the Office of the Chief Procurement Officer at the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, where she plays a pivotal role in executing acquisitions that support housing program integrity, regulatory compliance, and data-driven policy analysis. She manages a diverse portfolio of professional services contracts aligned with HUD’s mission to expand equitable housing access and strengthen community development initiatives. Her acquisitions primarily focus on building inspection, real estate appraisal, and title settlement services, ensuring that procurement activities uphold federal standards while advancing housing market transparency and safety. Crowley cultivates strategic partnerships with a broad network of small business vendors, particularly those certified under socioeconomic programs, fostering long-term relationships grounded in compliance, performance, and accountability. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, she consistently engages with firms specializing in housing-related professional services, prioritizing responsiveness, technical competence, and adherence to federal procurement regulations. Her working relationships are characterized by collaborative engagement, clear performance metrics, and a commitment to vendor development through transparent communication and timely contract administration. A staunch advocate for small business participation, Crowley demonstrates a strong preference for Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, with approximately 79.4% of her awards reserved for small businesses. Her contracting patterns reflect a deliberate strategy to maximize economic opportunity for disadvantaged entrepreneurs, with consistent utilization of HUBZone, 8(a), and women-owned small business set-asides to ensure equitable access to federal contracting opportunities. Her primary procurement focus centers on NAICS 541350 (Building Inspection Services) and 541320 (Offices of Real Estate Appraisers), reflecting deep expertise in housing assessment and risk evaluation services. She also routinely procures title abstract and settlement services (541191), as well as limited computing infrastructure and environmental remediation services to support modernization and compliance initiatives. Crowley’s technical domain expertise lies at the intersection of housing policy, real estate compliance, and administrative modernization, ensuring that acquisitions directly enable HUD’s mission-critical objectives.
