Doretta Chiarlone

Doretta Chiarlone serves as a Contracting Officer responsible for managing the acquisition lifecycle for a diverse range of non-defense federal services. In this role, she ensures compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) while executing procurements that align with agency mission needs, emphasizing transparency, competition, and socioeconomic objectives. She routinely handles service-based contracts, particularly in education support, facility maintenance, and wholesale distribution sectors, utilizing both full and open competitions and set-aside mechanisms to meet statutory requirements and promote equitable access to federal contracting opportunities. While specific contractor relationships are not currently available in the dataset, her procurement patterns indicate a balanced engagement with both large and small vendors, with a strong emphasis on fostering competitive bidding environments. She works closely with vendors who demonstrate capacity to deliver specialized services under performance-based contract structures, including task order and indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) mechanisms, ensuring accountability and operational readiness. Chiarlone demonstrates a pronounced commitment to small business participation, with approximately half of her awards structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to prioritize small business eligibility and ensure meaningful access to federal opportunities without reliance on other socioeconomic programs such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides. Her approach underscores a preference for broad-based small business inclusion over targeted designations. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 611699 (All Other Miscellaneous Schools and Instruction), indicating significant activity in non-traditional educational services, tutoring, and workforce development programs. She also regularly procures janitorial services under NAICS 561720 and lumber and wood product distribution under NAICS 423310, showcasing expertise in managing both human capital and supply chain acquisitions across disparate technical domains.
