Malita DysonContract specialist
Contract SpecialistMalita Dyson serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from requirements definition and market research through solicitation, evaluation, award, and contract administration. She plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and promoting transparent, competitive procurement practices. Her portfolio primarily encompasses professional services and technology-related procurements, with a strong emphasis on media, communications, and creative industries. Dyson works closely with program stakeholders to align contracting strategies with mission objectives, ensuring timely delivery of essential services while upholding integrity and accountability in all procurement actions.
While no specific contractor relationships are currently identifiable in the data, Dyson’s procurement patterns indicate a consistent engagement with a diverse pool of vendors, including independent contractors, small creative firms, and specialized technology providers. Her approach emphasizes open competition and equitable access, fostering partnerships with both established vendors and emerging small businesses. She actively cultivates vendor relationships through clear communication, fair evaluation criteria, and timely contract actions, reinforcing trust and reliability in the acquisition process.
Dyson demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with 21.7% of her awards structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. Her contracting patterns reflect a deliberate effort to expand opportunities for small businesses, though the majority of her acquisitions—78.3%—are conducted under full and open competition. She does not currently prioritize specialized set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB, but her consistent use of small business set-asides signals a foundational dedication to socioeconomic goals within the broader framework of competitive procurement.
Her primary industry focus lies in NAICS 711510 (Independent Artists, Writers, and Performers), reflecting a significant demand for creative and media services, followed by 515112 (Radio Stations) and 334220 (Broadcast Equipment Manufacturing).
