Doris D Haywood

Doris D. Haywood serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from requirements definition through contract award and administration. She plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and agency procurement policies, delivering timely and cost-effective solutions to support mission-critical operations. Her portfolio primarily encompasses complex procurements for telecommunications and electronic equipment, requiring deep technical understanding and rigorous market research to align contracting strategies with operational needs. While specific contractor names are not available, Haywood consistently engages with a diverse pool of vendors, including prime contractors and subcontractors specializing in communications hardware and electronic systems. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for competitive, open market solicitations, fostering a transparent and fair procurement environment. She routinely collaborates with manufacturers and system integrators capable of meeting stringent technical specifications for broadcast, audio-video, and industrial control equipment. Haywood demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with nearly 11% of her acquisitions structured as set-asides for small businesses. Of these, the majority are Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, with a smaller but consistent portion awarded through 8(a) competed contracts. Her approach reflects a balanced effort to leverage socioeconomic programs while maintaining robust competition and value for the government. Her procurement focus is heavily concentrated in NAICS 334220, which covers radio and television broadcasting and wireless communications equipment manufacturing, accounting for nearly 89% of her activity. She also regularly procures audio and video equipment (334310), along with select items in relay and industrial control systems (335314) and iron and steel pipe manufacturing (331210). This specialization underscores her technical expertise in telecommunications infrastructure and electronic systems procurement, making her a key resource for acquiring mission-enabling technology in the communications and electronics domains.
