Jeanine Tyson

Jeanine Tyson serves as a Contract Specialist within the General Services Administration’s Federal Acquisition Service, Region 4, where she plays a pivotal role in executing complex IT and engineering acquisitions to support federal mission-critical systems. Her work centers on procuring advanced computing solutions, software development services, and communications infrastructure essential for defense, aviation, and command-and-control operations. She manages the full lifecycle of contract actions—from requirements validation and market research to solicitation, evaluation, and award—ensuring compliance with FAR regulations and GSA’s strategic priorities in modernizing federal technology capabilities. Jeanine maintains a primary contracting relationship with AMD INTERNATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES LLC, a key vendor delivering specialized information technology and systems integration services. Her procurement patterns reflect a preference for established industry partners with proven technical expertise in high-performance computing and mission-critical systems, though she consistently engages a diverse pool of qualified vendors to ensure competitive outcomes and technical innovation. Her set-aside preferences are heavily skewed toward open competition, with 94.7% of awards issued without socioeconomic set-asides, reflecting a mission-driven focus on technical capability over socioeconomic categorization. While small business participation is limited to 5.3% of awards—primarily under Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5—she ensures all solicitations are structured to allow fair and reasonable competition, aligning with GSA’s broader efficiency objectives. Jeanine’s procurement portfolio is dominated by NAICS 511210 (Software Publishers), accounting for nearly half of her activity, followed by 334111 (Electronic Computer Manufacturing) and 334310 (Audio and Video Equipment Manufacturing). She specializes in acquiring custom software platforms, embedded computing systems, and integrated hardware-software solutions for defense and aerospace applications, demonstrating deep technical fluency in cybersecurity-enabled IT architectures and mission-specific engineering services.
