Jacqueline Richardson

Jacqueline Richardson serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from requirements definition through contract award and administration. She plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and promoting efficient, transparent procurement practices. Her portfolio primarily encompasses professional services, with a strong emphasis on management consulting, business support services, and training solutions. Richardson works closely with program managers and acquisition teams to align contracting strategies with mission objectives, ensuring that procurements are competitively sourced and legally sound. While specific contractor names are not available, Jacqueline consistently engages with a diverse pool of vendors, including small businesses, consulting firms, and professional services providers. Her procurement patterns reflect a preference for competitive sealed bidding and negotiated acquisitions under FAR Part 15, with a focus on performance-based contracting and clear statement of work development. She fosters collaborative relationships with vendors who demonstrate technical competence, past performance, and strong compliance records, ensuring high-quality service delivery across her portfolio. Jacqueline demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with nearly half of her awards designated for small businesses—25% under the HUBZone program and 25% as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. Her balanced approach to set-asides reflects a deliberate strategy to promote economic opportunity for historically underserved communities while maintaining robust competition. She actively seeks to maximize small business participation without compromising acquisition efficiency or mission readiness. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541611 (Administrative Management and General Management Consulting Services), followed by 561499 (All Other Business Support Services) and 611430 (Professional and Management Development Training). She routinely procures strategic planning, operational efficiency consulting, organizational development, and workforce training services, demonstrating deep expertise in human capital and management consulting domains. Her work ensures that federal programs receive high-value advisory and support services tailored to complex operational needs.
