Jill D LaDuca

Jill D. LaDuca serves as a Contracting Officer within the IT Network Services Contract Operations Division (47QTCD) of the General Services Administration’s Federal Acquisition Service. In this role, she is responsible for managing the full lifecycle of complex IT acquisitions, including software development, systems integration, cybersecurity services, and mission-critical technical support contracts. Her work directly supports the agency’s mission to modernize federal digital infrastructure through secure, scalable, and interoperable technology solutions. LaDuca routinely handles performance-based, indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) and other flexible contract vehicles designed to meet evolving agency needs while ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations. LaDuca cultivates collaborative relationships with a diverse range of technology vendors, including large systems integrators, niche software developers, and managed service providers specializing in federal IT environments. She engages contractors through competitive sealed bidding and negotiated procurements, emphasizing technical excellence, past performance, and cybersecurity readiness. Her procurement approach prioritizes innovation and operational resilience, often requiring vendors to demonstrate compliance with NIST, FISMA, and FedRAMP standards. LaDuca’s contracting portfolio reflects a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of her acquisitions designated as non-set-aside. While she does not currently utilize socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs, her processes remain fully compliant with small business goals and encourage participation through unrestricted opportunities that reward technical capability and proven delivery. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS categories related to custom software development, network infrastructure services, cloud migration, and IT modernization. She routinely acquires mission-critical solutions including zero-trust architecture components, automated systems management tools, and secure cloud-hosted platforms, demonstrating deep expertise in federal IT modernization domains and digital service delivery frameworks.
