Joni L Dingledine

Joni L. Dingledine 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) and supports the agency’s mission by executing timely, transparent, and legally sound procurements. Her portfolio primarily encompasses complex service and equipment contracts requiring technical evaluation and risk mitigation, with a focus on laboratory testing, communications equipment, textile manufacturing, educational instruction, and engine systems. Dingledine collaborates closely with program offices to align contracting strategies with operational needs while maintaining rigorous adherence to procurement integrity standards. While specific contractor names are not disclosed in available data, Dingledine maintains a broad network of vendor partnerships across diverse industry sectors, engaging both large-capability contractors and small businesses to meet technical and logistical demands. Her working relationships reflect a balanced approach—prioritizing competitive bidding while fostering collaboration with qualified suppliers capable of delivering specialized goods and services under tight performance timelines. Dingledine exhibits a strong preference for open competition, with 87.5% of her acquisitions conducted without set-asides. However, she consistently allocates 12.5% of her portfolio to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a deliberate commitment to expanding opportunities for small businesses. Her socioeconomic contracting patterns reflect a preference for broad-based small business inclusion rather than targeted programs such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB, indicating a strategic emphasis on market-wide competition among qualified small entities. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541380 (Testing Laboratories and Services), 334220 (Radio and Television Broadcasting and Wireless Communications Equipment Manufacturing), and 314999 (All Other Miscellaneous Textile Product Mills), each accounting for 25% of her activity. She also regularly procures under 611699 (Miscellaneous Schools and Instruction) and 333618 (Other Engine Equipment Manufacturing), showcasing expertise in technical, industrial, and educational service domains. Dingledine’s specialization enables her to navigate complex technical specifications and performance requirements across these niche markets.
