Frances A. De Gori

Frances A. De Gori serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from requirement development through contract award and administration. She plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with federal procurement regulations, including the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), and supports mission-critical procurement activities aligned with agency operational needs. Her portfolio primarily encompasses construction, maintenance, and resource management services, with a strong emphasis on logging operations and building systems contracting. De Gori ensures acquisitions are executed with transparency, fairness, and efficiency, consistently adhering to statutory obligations and best practices in contract management. While no specific contractor relationships are identified in available data, De Gori’s procurement patterns suggest routine engagement with contractors specializing in forestry services, plumbing, heating, and air-conditioning systems, as well as commercial and institutional construction. She likely works with a mix of small and large businesses, fostering competitive bidding environments and ensuring technical compliance with performance specifications. Her approach emphasizes vendor reliability, regulatory adherence, and delivery of mission-sustaining services under firm-fixed-price and time-and-materials contract types. De Gori’s contracting activity reflects a clear preference for non-set-aside procurements, with 100% of her awards issued under full and open competition. This indicates a strategic focus on maximizing market participation and leveraging broad industry capability rather than reserving contracts for socioeconomic categories such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs. Her approach prioritizes value and performance over socioeconomic targeting, consistent with agency mandates requiring open competition unless specific statutory exceptions apply. Her primary industry focus lies in NAICS 113310 (Logging), which accounts for over 80% of her acquisitions, demonstrating deep expertise in forestry, timber harvesting, and land management services. She also regularly procures plumbing, heating, and air-conditioning systems (NAICS 238220) and commercial/institutional construction (NAICS 236220), indicating proficiency in infrastructure and facility support contracting. De Gori’s technical domain expertise spans environmental compliance, heavy equipment operations, and building systems integration, positioning her as a specialist in resource-based and facility-support procurement.
