Jacelyn Stanton

Jacelyn Stanton serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of professional services acquisitions, ensuring compliance with federal procurement regulations and advancing agency mission objectives. She oversees the planning, solicitation, evaluation, and award of contracts for technical and management consulting services, with a strong emphasis on transparency, fairness, and regulatory adherence. Her role is central to the agency’s procurement mission, bridging operational needs with market capabilities through strategic sourcing and risk-managed contracting practices. She typically handles competitive acquisitions under FAR Part 15, including both sealed bidding and negotiated procedures, with a focus on performance-based contracting and outcome-driven deliverables. While specific contractor names are not available, Stanton maintains a balanced vendor ecosystem characterized by consistent engagement with small businesses and professional services firms specializing in engineering and management consulting. Her procurement patterns reflect a preference for collaborative, long-term vendor relationships grounded in past performance evaluation and technical competency, rather than sole-source reliance. She actively fosters vendor participation through clear solicitation language, pre-solicitation outreach, and post-award feedback mechanisms, promoting a competitive and accountable marketplace. Stanton demonstrates a pronounced commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with 80% of her acquisitions structured as small business set-asides. Nearly half are awarded under Total Small Business Set-Aside authority (FAR 19.5), while a significant 20% are reserved specifically for SBA-certified Economically Disadvantaged Women-Owned Small Businesses (EDWOSB). Her approach aligns with federal goals to expand opportunities for underrepresented entrepreneurs, and she consistently prioritizes set-aside eligibility verification and certification validation to ensure program integrity. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541330 (Engineering Services), where she acquires technical design, systems integration, and infrastructure support. She also regularly procures management consulting services under NAICS 541611 and specialized professional services under 541990, including analytical, advisory, and technical support functions. Her domain expertise centers on complex, knowledge-based services requiring subject-matter proficiency in engineering disciplines and organizational efficiency improvement.
