Doris Evans-Metcalfe

Doris Evans-Metcalfe serves as a key procurement lead within the Incident Support Section (ISS70) of the Federal Emergency Management Agency, where she facilitates rapid-response acquisitions critical to sustaining life-sustaining operations during domestic emergencies. Her work directly supports FEMA’s mission to ensure operational continuity in austere environments by securing essential services that maintain infrastructure resilience and deliver survivor support. She manages a diverse portfolio of contract actions under the Federal Acquisition Regulation, focusing on time-sensitive, mission-critical procurements that require agile contracting methods, including simplified acquisition procedures and emergency authorities under FAR Part 18. While specific contractor names are not publicly available, Evans-Metcalfe maintains dynamic partnerships with a broad spectrum of vendors, including logistics providers, emergency relief specialists, and general support service firms. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for flexible, scalable vendor relationships that can rapidly mobilize resources under unpredictable conditions, often engaging both large-capacity suppliers and nimble small businesses capable of deploying assets in high-risk, low-infrastructure environments. Her procurement strategy prioritizes small business participation, with 25% of acquisitions set aside for total small business concerns under FAR 19.5, reflecting a strong commitment to socioeconomic inclusion. Though no specific set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB are dominant, her consistent use of small business set-asides demonstrates a deliberate effort to expand opportunities for underserved vendors in emergency response sectors. Evans-Metcalfe’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 624230 (Emergency and Other Relief Services), 561990 (All Other Support Services), 488999 (All Other Support Activities for Transportation), and 424490 (Other Grocery and Related Products Merchant Wholesalers). This reflects deep expertise in securing food distribution, logistical support, emergency shelter services, and ancillary operational assistance—core capabilities required to sustain survivor care and field operations during large-scale disasters.
