Janel Tate

Janel Tate serves as a Contracting Officer, acting as a primary point of contact for the procurement process. In this role, Tate is responsible for managing the acquisition lifecycle and ensuring that procurement activities align with the agency's operational mission. Regarding set-aside preferences, the procurement patterns show a significant reliance on full and open competitions, with no set-aside requirements applied to the majority of acquisitions. However, there is a clear commitment to socioeconomic goals, particularly through the utilization of Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) set-asides and general Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. A small percentage of acquisitions are conducted as sole-source procurements under FAR 6.302.1. The technical focus of these procurements is heavily concentrated in specialized maintenance and emergency services. Primary expertise is demonstrated in the procurement of electronic and precision equipment repair and maintenance, as well as ambulance services. Additional procurement activity includes security systems services and electrical contracting and wiring installation.
