Jacqueline Combs

Jacqueline Combs serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from requirement validation 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 agency-specific procurement policies, with a focus on delivering mission-critical services through transparent, competitive processes. Her portfolio primarily encompasses information technology support, facilities management, and technical consulting services, often requiring complex task-order contracting under indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) vehicles. Combs is known for her meticulous approach to source selection and her emphasis on risk mitigation in high-stakes technical procurements. While specific contractor names are not available, Jacqueline Combs maintains a consistent pattern of engagement with small business vendors, particularly those certified under socioeconomic programs. Her contracting activity reflects a strong preference for competitive set-asides, with nearly two-thirds of her awards reserved for total small business participation under FAR 19.5, and one-third awarded through 8(a) competed contracts. This pattern underscores her dedication to fostering economic opportunity and ensuring that small, disadvantaged firms have equitable access to federal contracting opportunities. Combs demonstrates a pronounced focus on socioeconomic contracting, with a clear emphasis on 8(a) program participation and total small business set-asides. Her procurement strategy prioritizes vendor diversity, consistently channeling opportunities to small businesses and 8(a)-certified firms to meet statutory goals and promote inclusive economic growth. She actively leverages the 8(a) program’s developmental intent, structuring acquisitions to support the growth and capacity-building of emerging contractors while maintaining rigorous performance standards. Her primary technical domains center on NAICS 541513 (Computer Facilities Management Services), where she procures data center operations, IT infrastructure support, and cloud-enabled services; NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), for facility modernization and maintenance projects; and NAICS 541690 (Other Scientific and Technical Consulting Services), for specialized advisory work in systems integration and operational efficiency. This blend of IT, construction, and technical consulting reflects her expertise in managing multidisciplinary acquisitions that bridge infrastructure, technology, and professional services.
