Erin C Lange

Erin C. Lange serves as a Contracting Officer responsible for managing complex professional and technical services acquisitions across federal programs. In this role, she ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while delivering mission-critical support through competitive, transparent procurement processes. Her portfolio primarily encompasses non-clinical, science- and technology-driven services, aligning with agency objectives to leverage expert consulting and specialized technical capabilities. She oversees the full lifecycle of contract actions—from market research and solicitation development to award and closeout—ensuring alignment with statutory requirements and best practices in federal contracting. Erin collaborates with a diverse range of vendors specializing in professional, scientific, and technical consulting services. While no single contractor dominates her award portfolio, she maintains consistent engagement with firms offering strategic advisory, analytical, and operational support services. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for open competition, fostering a level playing field among both large and small firms with demonstrated expertise in niche technical domains. She prioritizes clear performance metrics and deliverables, ensuring accountability and value in every acquisition. Erin’s procurement strategy reflects a strong emphasis on full and open competition, with 100% of her awards issued without set-aside designations. This approach underscores her commitment to selecting the most qualified offerors based on technical merit and past performance, rather than socioeconomic preferences. While she does not routinely utilize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, she remains fully compliant with all small business outreach and reporting requirements, ensuring equitable access for eligible firms within open competitions. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541990 (All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services) and NAICS 541690 (Other Scientific and Technical Consulting Services). She regularly acquires services such as policy analysis, program evaluation, data analytics, systems integration consulting, and research support. Her technical domain expertise centers on evidence-based decision-making, performance measurement, and operational efficiency—making her a key liaison between mission needs and specialized technical providers in the federal ecosystem.
