Joanne K. Day

Joanne K. Day serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from requirements determination through contract award and administration. She plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and supports the agency’s mission by delivering high-quality professional services through transparent, competitively awarded contracts. Her portfolio primarily consists of consulting and claims adjustment services, requiring deep familiarity with performance-based acquisition methods, statement of work development, and source selection procedures under FAR Part 15. While specific contractor names are not available, Joanne maintains collaborative relationships with a diverse pool of vendors, including both large professional services firms and small businesses capable of delivering technical and administrative support. Her contracting patterns reflect a balanced approach, fostering competition while ensuring vendor capability aligns with complex service requirements. She frequently engages with contractors through negotiated procurements, leveraging past performance evaluations and technical merit to drive informed source selection decisions. Joanne demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with 25% of her acquisitions structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to expand economic opportunity and enhance market diversity, while the remaining 75% of her awards are open to all competitors, indicating a preference for full and open competition when small business capability is not a limiting factor. Her approach aligns with federal socioeconomic goals without compromising acquisition efficiency. Her primary procurement focus centers on NAICS 541690 (Other Scientific and Technical Consulting Services), encompassing advisory, analytical, and operational support services, and NAICS 524291 (Claims Adjusting), which involves third-party risk assessment and insurance-related administrative functions. This dual specialization highlights her expertise in procuring technical consulting and claims management services, requiring nuanced understanding of industry standards, data integrity protocols, and regulatory compliance frameworks in both public and private-sector contexts.
