Forrest Hancock

Forrest Hancock serves as the primary procurement lead for the General Services Administration’s Federal Acquisition Service, Civilian division (47QFD0), where he drives the acquisition of mission-critical administrative and educational support services to enhance federal operational readiness. His role centers on designing and executing contract strategies that align with GSA’s mandate to modernize government-wide procurement systems, with a focus on streamlining administrative workflows and improving institutional capacity through strategic consulting and educational infrastructure support. Hancock manages a diverse portfolio of competitive solicitations under full and open competition, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations while advancing efficiency and innovation across federal agencies. Hancock’s contractor relationships are characterized by engagement with a broad spectrum of qualified vendors offering management consulting and educational support solutions. He routinely collaborates with large professional services firms and mid-tier consultants experienced in federal process reengineering, organizational development, and curriculum design for government training environments. His working patterns emphasize merit-based selection, performance-based contracting, and long-term vendor partnerships grounded in measurable outcomes and service-level agreements. Hancock’s procurement activity is exclusively conducted under full and open competition, with no set-asides designated for 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or other socioeconomic programs. This reflects a strategic emphasis on maximizing competition among qualified entities rather than leveraging socioeconomic preferences, consistent with the agency’s focus on standardized, scalable solutions. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541611 (Administrative Management and General Management Consulting Services) and NAICS 611710 (Educational Support Services), where he procures strategic planning, process optimization, workforce development, and institutional training support. His technical domain expertise includes federal administrative modernization, learning management system integration, and organizational change management, ensuring federal operations remain agile, resilient, and aligned with evolving mission requirements.
