Joyce Vaughn

Joyce A. Vaughn serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from requirement validation and market research to contract award and administration. She plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) while advancing agency mission objectives through strategic sourcing. Her portfolio primarily encompasses service-based contracts requiring precise technical oversight and performance-based management, with a strong emphasis on facilities support, building equipment installation, and industrial maintenance services. Vaughn’s work ensures that procurements are executed efficiently, transparently, and in alignment with statutory and regulatory requirements. Vaughn cultivates collaborative relationships with a diverse array of vendors, particularly small businesses and specialized service providers. She regularly engages with contractors offering facilities support, testing laboratory services, packing and crating solutions, and commercial machinery repair. Her contracting approach emphasizes clear performance metrics, robust contract administration, and proactive vendor communication to ensure deliverables align with operational needs. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, she consistently works with firms possessing niche technical capabilities and proven performance histories in their respective domains. A staunch advocate for socioeconomic contracting, Vaughn prioritizes small business participation, with nearly half of her awards structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. She actively promotes opportunities for Women-Owned Small Businesses, Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses, and HUBZone firms, consistently integrating these set-asides into her acquisition strategies. Her procurement patterns reflect a deliberate commitment to expanding market access for underserved businesses while maintaining competitive rigor and value for the government. Her primary technical focus lies in NAICS 561210 (Facilities Support Services), 238290 (Other Building Equipment Contractors), and 541380 (Testing Laboratories and Services), with additional emphasis on packing and crating (488991) and industrial machinery repair (811310). Vaughn’s expertise centers on procuring specialized, non-standardized services requiring technical specificity, vendor certification, and performance-based outcomes, demonstrating deep domain knowledge in infrastructure support and industrial service sectors.
