Jeffrey L. McDermott serves as a Senior Contract Specialist, providing expert oversight and execution of federal acquisition activities across a diverse range of professional services. In this role, he ensures compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) while facilitating timely, cost-effective procurements that align with agency mission objectives. He typically manages complex contract actions for consulting, support services, and operational requirements, utilizing competitive procedures including sealed bids, requests for proposals, and simplified acquisition methods. His work is critical to maintaining efficient procurement workflows and ensuring transparency, accountability, and fairness throughout the acquisition lifecycle. While specific contractor names are not available, McDermott maintains a broad network of vendor partnerships across consulting, security, and support service sectors. He engages with both large prime contractors and small business subcontractors, fostering collaborative relationships grounded in performance-based contracting principles. His approach emphasizes vendor responsiveness, past performance evaluation, and clear statement of work development to ensure deliverables meet technical and operational standards. McDermott demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with 30% of his acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. His procurement patterns reflect a deliberate emphasis on socioeconomic programs, prioritizing small businesses without favoring specific categories like 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB. The remaining 70% of his awards are open to all competitors, indicating a balanced strategy that supports small business goals while maintaining competition and value. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541690 (Other Scientific and Technical Consulting Services) and 541611 (Administrative Management Consulting), with significant activity in security systems services (561621), general support services (561990), and hospitality services (721110). This reflects expertise in procuring advisory, operational, and facility-related services, often requiring specialized technical knowledge and performance-based outcomes. His domain knowledge spans program management, security infrastructure, and administrative support, making him a key resource for mission-critical service acquisitions.
