Jelena Kaludjerovic

Jelena Kaludjerovic serves as a procurement professional responsible for managing complex service acquisitions aligned with federal operational requirements. She plays a critical role in executing contract strategies that ensure the timely and compliant delivery of essential support services, with a focus on payroll processing and commercial/industrial equipment maintenance. Her work directly supports mission continuity by securing high-reliability vendors capable of delivering specialized technical services under strict regulatory frameworks. She handles a diverse portfolio of non-personal services contracts, often structured as task orders or indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) mechanisms, emphasizing performance-based outcomes and clear statement of work definitions. Her contractor relationships are characterized by a broad, non-exclusive engagement model, with no single vendor dominating her acquisition portfolio. She collaborates with a wide array of service providers, including both large-capacity firms and small businesses, prioritizing capability, past performance, and compliance over vendor size. Her procurement approach favors competitive bidding under full and open competition, reflecting a preference for market-driven solutions that ensure value and innovation without reliance on sole-source or limited-source mechanisms. Jelena maintains a strong commitment to full and open competition, with 100% of her acquisitions conducted without set-aside designations such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB. This reflects a strategic decision to prioritize technical merit and service quality over socioeconomic preferences, ensuring that all eligible vendors compete on a level playing field. While she does not formally reserve opportunities for small or disadvantaged businesses, her processes remain transparent and accessible to all registered contractors. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541214 (Payroll Services) and 811310 (Commercial and Industrial Machinery and Equipment Repair and Maintenance). She consistently seeks vendors with proven expertise in payroll system integration, compliance with federal wage and hour regulations, and the repair of mission-critical industrial equipment. Her domain expertise includes contract administration for technical service delivery, performance measurement, and vendor risk mitigation within regulated operational environments.
