Jocelyn McChesney

Jocelyn McChesney serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from requirement development through contract award and administration. She plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with federal procurement regulations while advancing mission-critical objectives through strategic sourcing. Her portfolio primarily encompasses professional services and technical procurement, with a focus on consulting, engineering, and supply chain solutions. McChesney works closely with program managers and technical stakeholders to define clear solicitation requirements, evaluate proposals under best-value tradeoff criteria, and negotiate contracts that deliver operational efficiency and accountability. While specific contractor names are not available, her contracting patterns reflect a balanced engagement with both large and small businesses, with a strong emphasis on competitive pathways that foster market diversity. She routinely collaborates with vendors across multiple socioeconomic categories, ensuring fair and open competition while promoting equitable access to federal opportunities. Her approach emphasizes transparency, rigorous source selection, and post-award performance oversight to maintain contract integrity and mission readiness. McChesney demonstrates a pronounced commitment to small business participation, with nearly 57% of her awards structured under set-aside programs—equally split between 8(a) competed and HUBZone set-asides. This reflects a deliberate strategy to leverage socioeconomic programs that support economically disadvantaged entrepreneurs and businesses located in historically underutilized business zones. Her consistent use of these authorities underscores a dedication to fulfilling statutory small business goals and expanding the federal supplier base. Her procurement focus centers on NAICS 541611 (administrative and general management consulting services), with significant activity in professional, scientific, and technical services (541990), as well as merchant wholesale distribution of electrical and computer equipment (423610 and 423430). She frequently acquires specialized technical services, IT infrastructure components, and mission-support consulting, demonstrating expertise in bridging operational needs with commercial market capabilities across both service and product domains.
