Faith V. Shelton

Faith V. Shelton serves as a Senior Contracting Officer within GSA’s Federal Acquisition Service, Region 4, where she leads the acquisition of mission-critical information technology systems, communications infrastructure, and technical services to support federal defense, aviation, and command-and-control operations. In this role, she manages the full lifecycle of complex procurements—from market research and solicitation development to contract award and performance oversight—ensuring alignment with federal acquisition regulations and GSA’s strategic priorities in digital modernization and systems integration. Her portfolio primarily encompasses software development, engineering support, and integrated computing solutions for high-impact federal missions. Faith maintains a consistent working relationship with AMD INTERNATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES LLC, a key contractor delivering advanced IT and systems integration services. Her procurement approach emphasizes performance-based contracting, outcome-driven deliverables, and long-term vendor collaboration to ensure technical reliability and mission continuity. She engages with a select group of high-capacity vendors capable of meeting stringent security, scalability, and interoperability requirements, fostering partnerships grounded in accountability and technical excellence. Faith’s contracting patterns reflect a strong preference for full and open competition, with 100% of her awards issued under no set-aside conditions. While she does not prioritize socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs, her approach ensures competitive fairness and technical rigor, prioritizing capability and compliance over socioeconomic categorization. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 511210 (Software Publishers), where she acquires custom software solutions and enterprise platforms, followed by NAICS 541380 (Testing Laboratories and Services) for systems validation and cybersecurity assurance. She also regularly procures process optimization and logistics consulting services under NAICS 541614 and environmental consulting under NAICS 541620, demonstrating expertise across interdisciplinary technical domains critical to federal infrastructure resilience.
