Dorinda N. Conner

Dorinda N. Conner serves as a key procurement professional responsible for managing complex acquisitions across critical infrastructure and facility support services. Her role centers on ensuring compliance with federal contracting regulations while advancing mission-critical operational capabilities through strategic sourcing. She routinely handles competitive procurements under FAR Part 15, with a focus on construction, maintenance, and logistics support contracts. Her work directly supports the agency’s mission to maintain safe, efficient, and resilient facilities by securing high-quality services from qualified vendors. Conner cultivates partnerships with a diverse pool of contractors specializing in building systems and facility operations. She frequently engages plumbing, heating, and air-conditioning contractors, as well as firms providing commercial and institutional construction and equipment maintenance services. Her procurement approach emphasizes transparency, competition, and performance-based outcomes, fostering long-term vendor relationships built on accountability and regulatory adherence. She works closely with both large-capacity contractors and small businesses to ensure service continuity and technical excellence across contracted projects. A strong advocate for small business inclusion, Conner consistently prioritizes socioeconomic contracting opportunities. Nearly half of her acquisitions are structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, with an additional 3.5% allocated to 8(a) competed contracts. This pattern reflects a deliberate strategy to expand market access for disadvantaged businesses while maintaining rigorous performance standards. Her commitment to socioeconomic goals aligns with federal mandates and supports broader agency objectives in equitable contracting. Her primary technical focus lies in NAICS 238220 (Plumbing, Heating, and Air-Conditioning Contractors), where she oversees the procurement of HVAC systems, refrigeration, and building environmental controls. She also manages acquisitions in other building equipment contracting (238290), commercial construction (236220), and warehousing logistics (493190). This specialization demonstrates deep domain expertise in facility infrastructure and operational support services critical to mission-readiness.
