JoAnn Parks

JoAnn Parks serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from requirements definition through contract award and administration. She plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) while supporting mission-critical procurement needs across diverse technical domains. Her work centers on competitive solicitation strategies, source selection, and contract performance oversight, with a focus on consulting services, logistics, and specialized manufacturing. Parks consistently applies sound contracting practices to deliver efficient, transparent, and legally sound outcomes aligned with agency objectives. While specific contractor names are not available, Parks maintains relationships with a broad spectrum of vendors, including small businesses, general contractors, and specialized service providers. Her procurement approach emphasizes fair competition and adherence to solicitation terms, fostering collaborative vendor partnerships grounded in performance accountability and regulatory compliance. She engages contractors across multiple sectors, ensuring that deliverables meet technical specifications and operational requirements without reliance on single-source arrangements. Parks demonstrates a strong preference for open competition, with 83.3% of her acquisitions conducted without set-asides. However, she actively supports socioeconomic programs, allocating 12.5% of her portfolio to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5 and 4.2% to Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) set-asides. This balanced approach reflects a commitment to broad market access while intentionally advancing opportunities for veteran-owned and small businesses in alignment with federal socioeconomic goals. Her primary procurement focus lies in five key NAICS categories: Process, Physical Distribution, and Logistics Consulting Services (541614); Administrative Management and General Management Consulting Services (541611); General Warehousing and Storage (493110); Surgical Appliance and Supplies Manufacturing (339113); and Roofing Contractors (238160). These reflect expertise in operational support services, supply chain infrastructure, and specialized industrial products, indicating a technical proficiency in both service-based and manufactured goods acquisitions.
