Elaine Holloway

Elaine Holloway serves as a Contract Specialist within GSA’s Federal Acquisition Service, Region 8 (47QFRA), where she plays a pivotal role in executing mission-critical acquisitions that support federal cybersecurity resilience, digital infrastructure modernization, and operational sustainment. She manages the full lifecycle of complex procurements for technical services, with a primary emphasis on air transportation support systems, engineering solutions, and specialized professional services. Her work directly enables federal agencies to acquire advanced technology and engineering capabilities essential to national security and mission continuity, aligning closely with FAS Region 8’s mandate to deliver agile, compliant, and innovative acquisition outcomes. Elaine collaborates with a diverse array of vendors, including large prime contractors and small business subcontractors, to deliver high-integrity technical services. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, she consistently engages firms with proven expertise in aviation systems support, electronic manufacturing, and engineering design. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, clear statement of work development, and rigorous compliance with FAR and agency-specific requirements, fostering transparent and accountable vendor relationships grounded in mutual accountability and technical excellence. Elaine demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic objectives, with over 41% of her acquisitions structured as small business set-asides. Her preferences include 8(a) competed contracts and Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) set-asides, each accounting for 16.7% of her awards, alongside a notable 8.3% allocation to total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. She actively leverages socioeconomic programs to expand market access for qualified disadvantaged and veteran-owned firms, ensuring equitable participation without compromising mission requirements. Her procurement focus is heavily concentrated in NAICS 488190 (Other Support Activities for Air Transportation), which represents 75% of her portfolio, reflecting deep expertise in aviation logistics, maintenance support, and airfield systems integration. She also regularly procures engineering services (541330), electronic computer manufacturing (334111), and broader professional technical services (541990), demonstrating a technical command over complex, mission-critical domains critical to federal operational readiness.
