Doretta F. Chiarlone

Doretta F. Chiarlone serves as a Contracting Officer responsible for managing federal acquisitions in support of education and recreational services. In this role, she ensures compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation while facilitating timely, transparent, and efficient procurement processes that align with agency mission objectives. Her portfolio primarily encompasses service-based contracts for instructional programs and fitness-related facilities, requiring nuanced understanding of non-traditional government contracting environments. She works closely with program managers to define requirements, structure solicitation strategies, and evaluate proposals to ensure value and performance outcomes. While specific contractor names are not available, Ms. Chiarlone maintains a consistent pattern of engaging with vendors capable of delivering educational instruction and recreational programming services. Her procurement approach emphasizes performance-based contracting and clear statement of work development, fostering long-term vendor partnerships grounded in accountability and quality delivery. She routinely collaborates with both large service providers and small business concerns, prioritizing clarity in contract terms and post-award oversight to ensure compliance and mission success. Ms. Chiarlone demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with over 76% of her awards issued under full and open competition and approximately 23.1% designated as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. She actively leverages small business set-aside authorities to promote equitable access to federal opportunities, though she does not currently utilize specialized programs such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB. Her contracting patterns reflect a balanced focus on broad market competition while intentionally reserving a meaningful portion for small business participation. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 611699 (All Other Miscellaneous Schools and Instruction), where she acquires specialized educational services, including adult learning, vocational training, and community-based instruction. She also procures fitness and recreational services under NAICS 713940, overseeing contracts for sports programming, wellness initiatives, and facility-based physical activity services. This dual specialization reflects deep expertise in non-traditional education and public recreation domains, requiring tailored contract vehicles and performance metrics.
