Donna M. Ouellet

Donna M. Ouellet serves as a Contracting Officer responsible for managing the acquisition of real property leasing services across federal programs. In this role, she ensures compliance with federal procurement regulations while advancing agency objectives through efficient, transparent, and competitively awarded contracts. Her portfolio primarily involves the negotiation and administration of lease agreements for both residential and nonresidential facilities, supporting mission-critical space requirements. Ouellet works closely with federal stakeholders to align leasing needs with fiscal and operational priorities, ensuring that all acquisitions adhere to the Federal Acquisition Regulation and agency-specific policies. Ouellet maintains a broad network of property lessors and real estate service providers, engaging with both large-scale commercial landlords and regional property management firms. Her contracting approach emphasizes open competition and fair opportunity, fostering relationships with vendors capable of delivering turnkey leasing solutions, including facility maintenance, utilities management, and space planning services. She prioritizes clear contract performance metrics and post-award oversight to ensure tenant satisfaction and regulatory compliance. Notably, Ouellet’s procurement activity is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of her awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic focus on maximizing market participation and achieving the best value through broad-based solicitation rather than socioeconomic set-asides. While she does not prioritize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs, her process remains fully compliant with small business goals and supports participation where vendors compete on equal footing. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 531120 (Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings) and NAICS 531110 (Lessors of Residential Buildings and Dwellings), indicating deep expertise in commercial and housing lease acquisitions. She routinely procures long-term, fixed-rent agreements for office, administrative, and housing facilities, demonstrating strong technical knowledge of real property law, lease structuring, and space utilization standards.
