Elena Leon

Elena Chaparro serves as an Office Automation Assistance within a federal entity, providing critical administrative and procurement support to streamline office operations and facilitate efficient acquisition processes. While not a contracting officer, she plays a vital role in the pre-award phase by preparing documentation, coordinating vendor communications, and ensuring compliance with federal procurement regulations. Her work supports the execution of low-to-mid-tier acquisitions focused on information technology services, software licensing, and professional support services, enabling mission-critical functions across departments. She operates within a structured procurement framework, ensuring timely and accurate processing of purchase requests and contract modifications. Elena collaborates with a broad range of vendors, primarily in the information technology and professional services sectors, often engaging with small businesses and general service providers to fulfill office automation needs. Her working relationships are characterized by consistent, transactional engagement rather than long-term strategic partnerships, reflecting the nature of her support role. She facilitates vendor onboarding, maintains procurement records, and ensures adherence to FAR guidelines, serving as a key liaison between internal stakeholders and external contractors. Her procurement patterns show a strong preference for open competition, with 95.7% of acquisitions conducted without set-asides, indicating a focus on efficiency and broad market access. Only 4.3% of awards are designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, suggesting a measured but limited commitment to socioeconomic programs, primarily aligned with standard small business eligibility rather than specialized designations like 8(a) or HUBZone. Elena’s primary NAICS focus is on 511130 (Software Publishers), reflecting a heavy reliance on commercial software solutions and digital tools. She also supports acquisitions under 624190 (Other Individual and Family Services) and 813920 (Professional Organizations), indicating involvement in administrative, technical, and organizational support services. Her expertise lies in procuring office automation systems, cloud-based platforms, and professional consulting services essential to daily operational efficiency.
