Donna R Truesdel

Donna R. Truesdel serves as a Contracting Officer responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, ensuring compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and promoting efficient, transparent procurement practices. She oversees the solicitation, evaluation, award, and administration of contracts across a diverse range of professional and technical services, with a focus on delivering mission-critical support to government operations. Her role is central to executing the agency’s acquisition strategy, balancing regulatory rigor with operational agility to meet evolving program needs. While specific contractor names are not available, Truesdel maintains relationships with a broad spectrum of vendors, including small businesses and professional services firms, often engaging through competitive sealed bidding and negotiated procurements. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for open competition, with the majority of awards issued under non-set-aside authorities, while still actively incorporating small business participation where appropriate. She fosters collaborative vendor partnerships grounded in performance-based contracting and clear statement of work development. Truesdel demonstrates a meaningful commitment to small business contracting, with approximately one-third of her awards designated as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. Though no other socioeconomic categories are currently dominant, her consistent use of small business set-asides indicates a deliberate effort to expand opportunities for small firms in competitive markets. Her approach aligns with federal goals to increase small business participation without compromising acquisition integrity or value. Her primary procurement focus centers on NAICS codes related to information services, data processing, and professional technical services—including 518210 (computing infrastructure), 541990 (other professional services), and 519130 (other information services). She also regularly procures services from social advocacy organizations under 813319. This technical portfolio reflects expertise in digital infrastructure, data management, and mission-support services, positioning her as a key practitioner in the procurement of modern, technology-enabled government solutions.
