Holly A. Deuser

Holly A. Deuser serves as a Contracting Officer responsible for managing complex acquisitions in defense and advanced technology sectors. She plays a critical role in executing the agency’s procurement mission by ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations while delivering mission-critical capabilities. Her portfolio primarily encompasses contracts for guided missile and space vehicle systems, electronic assembly manufacturing, aerospace navigation and detection systems, and research and development in physical and engineering sciences. Deuser specializes in full lifecycle contract administration, from solicitation through award and performance oversight, with a focus on high-technology, low-volume procurements requiring stringent technical validation and supply chain integrity. While specific contractor names are not disclosed, her procurement patterns indicate consistent engagement with defense industrial base firms capable of meeting stringent aerospace and defense specifications. She routinely works with vendors possessing ITAR compliance, AS9100 certification, and other defense-sector accreditations, fostering long-term partnerships with suppliers capable of supporting classified and sensitive programs. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, risk mitigation, and technical readiness, aligning vendor capabilities with national security objectives. Deuser’s set-aside preferences reflect a targeted but limited commitment to socioeconomic programs, with 85.7% of her acquisitions conducted as unrestricted competitions and 14.3% awarded as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This pattern suggests a preference for open competition unless small business participation is deemed strategically advantageous, indicating a balanced approach between market efficiency and small business development goals. Her primary NAICS focus areas—336414, 334418, 334511, 488190, and 541712—reveal deep expertise in aerospace systems, electronic manufacturing, and advanced R&D. She procures specialized components including guidance systems, printed circuit assemblies, avionics, and engineering research services, demonstrating proficiency in technical domains critical to national defense and space operations.
