Donna ORourke

Donna O’Rourke serves as a Purchasing Agent responsible for managing the acquisition of essential support services to meet operational needs across her organization. She plays a critical role in executing procurement activities in full compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation, ensuring timely and cost-effective delivery of mission-critical resources. Her portfolio primarily encompasses service-based contracts, with a strong emphasis on temporary staffing, facility support, and specialized healthcare logistics. Donna coordinates the full lifecycle of procurements—from market research and solicitation development to contract award and administration—ensuring alignment with agency priorities and regulatory requirements. While specific contractor names are not available, Donna maintains a broad network of vendors across multiple service sectors, fostering competitive bidding environments and cultivating relationships with both large service providers and small business concerns. Her procurement approach emphasizes transparency, fairness, and responsiveness to market conditions, encouraging participation from diverse vendors while maintaining rigorous performance standards. Donna demonstrates a clear preference for non-set-aside acquisitions, with 80% of her awards issued under full and open competition. However, she consistently allocates 20% of her contracting activity to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, reflecting a deliberate commitment to expanding opportunities for small businesses without targeting specific socioeconomic categories such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB. Her pattern indicates a strategic balance between broad market access and intentional small business inclusion. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 561320 (Temporary Help Services), which accounts for half of her activity, followed by drycleaning and laundry services (812320), blood and organ bank operations (621991), educational institutions (611310), and computing infrastructure providers (518210). This diverse mix underscores her expertise in procuring both administrative support and specialized technical services, positioning her as a versatile procurement professional with deep familiarity in service-sector contracting.
