Dorice Kenely

Dorice Kenely serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of professional services acquisitions, ensuring compliance with federal procurement regulations and aligning contracts with agency mission objectives. She handles competitive and non-competitive procurements for complex technical and scientific services, with a focus on ensuring transparency, fairness, and efficiency in the acquisition process. Her work supports the delivery of mission-critical services through strategic sourcing, contract negotiation, and post-award administration, playing a pivotal role in translating program needs into legally sound, performance-based contracts. While no specific contractor relationships are currently identifiable due to limited award data, Dorice routinely engages with a diverse pool of vendors offering professional, scientific, and technical services. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for open competition, fostering relationships with both large industry primes and small businesses capable of delivering specialized expertise in research, engineering, and technical support. She emphasizes performance outcomes and contractor accountability, encouraging innovation through clear statement of work development and rigorous evaluation criteria. Dorice’s procurement activity is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of her awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a deliberate strategy to maximize market participation and leverage broad industry capabilities rather than rely on socioeconomic set-asides. While she does not prioritize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs, her approach ensures equitable access for all qualified vendors, maintaining compliance with FAR Part 19 while prioritizing technical merit and value. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541990 (All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services), with significant activity in NAICS 541712 (Research and Development in Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences) and NAICS 811219 (Other Personal Services). She procures services including analytical research, laboratory support, technical consulting, and specialized engineering studies, demonstrating deep familiarity with scientific and technical service domains requiring high levels of subject matter expertise and regulatory adherence.
