Jeanne Nathanson

Jeanne Nathanson serves as a Project Manager within the Contracts and Acquisitions Management unit of the Department of Education, where she leads the planning, execution, and oversight of professional services acquisitions aligned with the agency’s mission to strengthen postsecondary education infrastructure and federal student aid systems. Her role centers on managing full lifecycle procurements for technical and administrative support services that enable evidence-based policy development, regulatory compliance, and data modernization initiatives. She routinely handles complex task order and delivery order contracts under indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) mechanisms, ensuring alignment with federal acquisition regulations and strategic procurement goals. Nathanson maintains a consistent working relationship with LPE-STRATEGIES LLC, the primary contractor supporting her portfolio. Her engagements with this vendor reflect a long-term, performance-based partnership focused on high-quality document preparation, data management, and administrative support services critical to the Department’s operational efficiency. She prioritizes contractor accountability, outcome-driven deliverables, and adherence to contract specifications, fostering a collaborative yet rigorously monitored vendor relationship. Her procurement portfolio reflects no set-aside preferences, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This demonstrates a deliberate focus on selecting the most qualified providers based on technical merit and performance capability, rather than socioeconomic categorization. While small business participation is not a primary procurement driver in her portfolio, her process remains transparent and compliant with all federal acquisition standards. Nathanson’s acquisitions are exclusively categorized under NAICS 561410—Document Preparation Services—reflecting a specialized focus on the production, formatting, and management of complex educational records, compliance documentation, and federal reporting materials. Her domain expertise lies in the technical handling of sensitive student data systems, regulatory submissions, and institutional reporting frameworks, ensuring that documentation services meet stringent federal accuracy and security requirements.
