James Hawkins

James Hawkins serves as a Contracting Officer responsible for managing the full lifecycle of acquisition activities within his assigned procurement portfolio. He ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations, negotiates contract terms, and oversees performance monitoring to deliver mission-critical support services. His role is central to the agency’s operational readiness, focusing on the procurement of facilities support services that sustain infrastructure, logistics, and administrative operations. Hawkins typically handles competitive and non-competitive solicitations under simplified acquisition procedures and formal contract vehicles, prioritizing efficiency, transparency, and regulatory adherence in all procurement actions. While no specific contractor relationships are currently identifiable in the data, Hawkins routinely engages with a broad spectrum of vendors offering facilities management, custodial services, groundskeeping, waste disposal, and building operations support. His contracting patterns reflect a preference for established service providers with proven performance histories, often utilizing indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contracts and governmentwide acquisition contracts (GWACs) to streamline procurement. He maintains a professional, arms-length relationship with vendors, emphasizing accountability, deliverable-based performance metrics, and contract compliance. Hawkins demonstrates a strong alignment with full and open competition, with 100% of his awards issued under non-set-aside conditions. This reflects a deliberate strategy to maximize market competition and ensure value-driven outcomes, rather than targeting specific socioeconomic categories such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs. His approach prioritizes capability and cost-effectiveness over socioeconomic preferences, consistent with agency-wide directives favoring open access to the marketplace. His primary procurement focus is exclusively within NAICS 561210, Facilities Support Services, encompassing a wide array of maintenance, cleaning, security, and facility operations contracts. Hawkins possesses deep expertise in evaluating service-level agreements, performance work statements, and labor compliance standards for custodial, grounds, and building support functions. His technical domain knowledge ensures that contracts are structured to meet operational requirements while promoting quality, continuity, and cost efficiency in facilities management.
