Felicia M. Long

Felicia M. Long serves as an Acquisition Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal procurements, from requirements development through contract award and administration. She plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) while advancing mission-critical capabilities through strategic sourcing. Her acquisitions typically encompass leasing and rental services for specialized equipment, technical testing and laboratory services, and information content production, reflecting a diverse portfolio aligned with both operational needs and socioeconomic objectives. Felicia collaborates closely with program managers and technical stakeholders to define clear statements of work and evaluate proposals using best-value tradeoff methodologies. While specific contractor names are not available, Felicia maintains a balanced vendor ecosystem that includes both large-capability providers and small business concerns. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for competitive, open market opportunities, yet she actively cultivates relationships with small businesses capable of delivering specialized equipment leasing, analytical testing, and content services. Her approach emphasizes transparency, fair competition, and performance-based outcomes, fostering long-term vendor partnerships grounded in compliance and reliability. Felicia demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with 40% of her acquisitions structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to increase economic opportunity for small businesses without relying on other socioeconomic programs such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides. Her consistent use of total small business set-asides underscores her dedication to broad-based small business inclusion and market development. Her primary procurement focus lies in three NAICS categories: 532412 for construction, mining, and forestry machinery leasing; 541380 for independent testing laboratories and services; and 511130 for information services, including data compilation and publishing. These domains require deep technical understanding of equipment specifications, analytical protocols, and content standards, positioning Felicia as a specialist in procuring complex, service-driven solutions across infrastructure, science, and information sectors.
