Jacqueline L Michael

Jacqueline L. Michael serves as a key procurement professional responsible for managing a diverse portfolio of federal acquisitions, with a strong emphasis on small business participation and socioeconomic contracting objectives. She plays a critical role in executing the agency’s acquisition strategy by overseeing the solicitation, evaluation, and award of contracts across multiple functional domains. Her work ensures compliance with FAR provisions while aligning procurement decisions with broader government priorities, particularly in supporting disadvantaged and small business vendors. She routinely handles commercial item acquisitions, service contracts, and supply chain procurements, often coordinating with program offices to define technical requirements and ensure market readiness. Her contracting patterns reflect a balanced approach to vendor engagement, with a notable preference for small business set-asides, particularly Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, she consistently engages a broad base of qualified small businesses, including those certified under the 8(a) program and Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) categories. Her procurement approach emphasizes competitive fairness, transparency, and robust market research to ensure broad vendor participation and value-driven outcomes. Michael demonstrates a clear commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with nearly 46% of her awards designated for small business set-asides and over 2% allocated to 8(a) competed contracts. Her use of SDVOSB set-asides and minimal reliance on non-set-aside awards underscores a deliberate strategy to foster economic opportunity and diversify the supplier base. She actively leverages government-wide acquisition vehicles and small business contracting authorities to maximize participation from underserved markets. Her primary procurement focus centers on NAICS 511210 (Software Publishers), reflecting expertise in digital content, software licensing, and information services. Additional emphasis is placed on office equipment distribution (423420), stationery manufacturing (322230), and janitorial services (561720), indicating a broad operational support portfolio. This mix reveals technical familiarity with commercial off-the-shelf products, facility services, and information technology infrastructure, positioning her as a versatile acquisition specialist with deep knowledge of both goods and service-based procurement environments.
