Jody G. Desormeaux

Jody G. Desormeaux serves as a Contracting Officer responsible for managing complex professional services acquisitions across scientific, technical, and engineering domains. In this role, she ensures compliance with federal procurement regulations while advancing mission-critical objectives through strategic sourcing and contract administration. Her portfolio primarily consists of firm-fixed-price and time-and-materials contracts for consulting services, requiring rigorous market research, source selection, and performance monitoring. Desormeaux plays a pivotal role in aligning acquisition strategies with agency priorities, ensuring transparency, competition, and accountability throughout the lifecycle of each procurement. While specific contractor names are not available, Desormeaux maintains a consistent pattern of engaging with professional services firms specializing in technical consulting, engineering analysis, and research support. Her contracting approach emphasizes competitive solicitation under FAR Part 15, fostering relationships with both large-capacity contractors and qualified small businesses. She prioritizes clear performance metrics and deliverable-based outcomes, ensuring vendor accountability and mission effectiveness through structured contract management practices. Desormeaux demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with 16.7% of her awards structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. Though the majority of her acquisitions remain open to all competitors, her deliberate use of set-asides reflects a proactive effort to expand opportunities for small businesses without compromising competition or mission needs. She does not appear to favor specific socioeconomic categories such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB, instead focusing broadly on small business eligibility under the general set-aside framework. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541690 (Other Scientific and Technical Consulting Services), 541614 (Process and Logistics Consulting), and 541330 (Engineering Services), with additional activity in research and development and broader professional services. She routinely procures advisory services related to systems engineering, operational efficiency, scientific analysis, and technical program support, demonstrating deep familiarity with the demands of federally funded R&D and technical infrastructure initiatives.
