Elizabeth S. Gorman

Elizabeth S. Gorman serves as a Contracting Officer within the Property Management - Co under the Department of Justice’s Federal Prison System / Bureau of Prisons, where she manages the acquisition of critical services supporting behavioral health, reentry programming, and operational infrastructure for incarcerated and transitioning populations. Her procurement portfolio emphasizes technical consulting, software development, and support services aligned with the agency’s mission to expand access to residential and outpatient mental health and substance use treatment. She ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while advancing programmatic outcomes through strategic sourcing and risk-managed contract execution. Gorman cultivates relationships with a diverse range of vendors, primarily engaging firms specializing in clinical software solutions, custom programming for case management systems, and technical consulting services for correctional health initiatives. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, her contracting patterns reflect a preference for agile, scalable service providers capable of integrating with federal IT environments and adhering to strict data privacy and security standards under HIPAA and DOJ guidelines. She routinely collaborates with vendors possessing proven experience in public sector corrections and behavioral health delivery systems. Her set-aside preferences reveal a strong inclination toward open competition, with 92.9% of acquisitions conducted without socioeconomic set-asides. However, she consistently reserves 7.1% of opportunities for Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a measured but intentional commitment to small business participation without compromising operational efficiency or service quality. Gorman’s primary NAICS focus includes 511210 (Software Publishers), 541690 (Other Scientific and Technical Consulting Services), and 541511 (Custom Computer Programming Services), reflecting her specialization in digital health platforms, behavioral data analytics tools, and integrated reentry case management systems. She also procures transportation support services and equipment supply chain solutions critical to inmate transport and facility logistics, underscoring her cross-functional expertise in both clinical and operational procurement domains.
