Donna Pat Herriott

Donna Pat Herriott serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from requirements definition and market research through solicitation, evaluation, award, and contract administration. She plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with federal procurement regulations while advancing mission-critical technology objectives. Her portfolio primarily encompasses information technology services and equipment procurement, with a focus on delivering secure, scalable, and efficient solutions to support operational needs. She routinely handles complex, high-value contracts requiring detailed technical evaluations and risk mitigation strategies, often coordinating with program managers and cybersecurity stakeholders to align acquisition outcomes with agency priorities. Her contractor relationships are centered on firms specializing in computer services and technology distribution, with consistent engagement with vendors capable of delivering custom programming, facility management, and IT infrastructure support. While no single contractor dominates her award profile, she maintains a balanced vendor ecosystem that includes both large systems integrators and specialized small businesses, fostering competition and innovation through open and fair procurement practices. Her approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, clear statement of work development, and rigorous source selection criteria. Donna’s procurement activity reflects a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of her awards designated as “No Set-Aside.” This indicates a focus on technical merit and value over socioeconomic set-asides, though she remains committed to fair and transparent processes that allow all eligible vendors to compete. Her contracting patterns demonstrate a results-driven approach, prioritizing capability and compliance over socioeconomic categorization. Her primary industry focus lies in NAICS 541513 (Computer Facilities Management Services) and 541511 (Custom Computer Programming Services), each representing one-third of her activity, alongside significant procurement in 423430 (Computer Equipment Wholesalers) and 334220 (Communications Equipment Manufacturing). She specializes in acquiring integrated IT infrastructure, software development, and hardware distribution solutions, demonstrating deep technical fluency in enterprise computing environments and telecommunications systems.
