Doris Evans-Gray

Doris Evans-Gray serves as a Contract Specialist within the Office of Acquisition Management at the Federal Transit Administration, where she plays a pivotal role in executing compliant, transparent, and strategically aligned procurement actions that support federal transit program integrity. Her responsibilities encompass the full lifecycle of acquisition planning, solicitation development, source selection, and contract administration for advisory and management services critical to financial oversight and program evaluation. She ensures alignment with FAR regulations and agency-specific guidance, prioritizing acquisitions that enhance accountability and operational efficiency across grant-funded transit initiatives. While no specific contractor relationships are currently identified in the data, Evans-Gray routinely engages with a diverse pool of vendors, including management consulting firms and specialized administrative support providers, fostering partnerships grounded in performance-based outcomes and regulatory compliance. Her contracting patterns reflect a balanced approach between large-capacity service providers and small business competitors, emphasizing quality, responsiveness, and adherence to socioeconomic objectives. Evans-Gray demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with 40% of her acquisitions structured as set-asides—20% awarded under the 8(a) program and 20% as total small business set-asides per FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to promote equitable access to federal opportunities for disadvantaged and small businesses, reinforcing the agency’s mission of inclusive economic participation in public transit infrastructure support. Her procurement focus is heavily concentrated in NAICS 541611, reflecting a primary emphasis on administrative management and general management consulting services, including performance measurement, financial systems support, and program evaluation. A smaller but significant portion of her portfolio falls under NAICS 928120, indicating engagement with international affairs coordination relevant to transit policy alignment. Her expertise lies in securing high-integrity advisory services that strengthen federal transit governance and compliance frameworks.
