Jody K. Lindley

Jody K. Lindley serves as a Contracting Officer responsible for managing the acquisition of professional engineering services across federal programs. In this role, she ensures compliance with federal procurement regulations while delivering mission-critical technical solutions through competitive, transparent processes. Her responsibilities include developing solicitation documents, evaluating proposals, negotiating contract terms, and administering performance-based agreements. Lindley’s work directly supports the agency’s operational objectives by securing high-quality engineering expertise essential to infrastructure, systems design, and technical analysis initiatives. Lindley maintains a broad network of qualified engineering firms, engaging both large professional service providers and small business contractors with specialized technical capabilities. She fosters collaborative relationships grounded in performance metrics and clear deliverables, emphasizing accountability and technical excellence. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, she consistently evaluates vendors based on past performance, technical competence, and capacity to meet complex engineering requirements under federal contract standards. Lindley’s procurement strategy reflects a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of her acquisitions classified as “No Set-Aside.” This approach prioritizes technical merit and value over socioeconomic categorizations, ensuring the selection of the most qualified firms regardless of business size or certification status. While she does not exclusively target 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs, her process remains fully compliant with all applicable socioeconomic statutes and encourages participation where firms meet the technical criteria. Her primary focus lies in NAICS 541330 — Engineering Services — encompassing civil, mechanical, electrical, and systems engineering disciplines. She procures services including design development, feasibility studies, construction oversight, technical analysis, and compliance assessments. Lindley’s expertise centers on complex, performance-driven engineering contracts requiring rigorous technical evaluation and lifecycle management, making her a key steward of mission-critical infrastructure and technical modernization efforts.
