Juanita Edmonds-Duke

Juanita Edmonds-Duke serves as a procurement professional responsible for managing acquisitions within the facility services and maintenance sector, with a singular focus on NAICS Code 811219—Other Personal and Household Goods Repair and Maintenance. Her role centers on ensuring the timely and compliant execution of contracts for custodial, janitorial, and building maintenance services essential to operational readiness. She plays a critical part in translating agency facility needs into solicitations that meet federal procurement standards, balancing fiscal responsibility with service quality. Her acquisitions typically involve service-based contracts requiring performance-based specifications, labor compliance, and environmental safety protocols. Her contractor relationships are broad but non-exclusive, with no single vendor dominating her award portfolio. She engages a diverse pool of service providers, including local and regional small businesses, general contractors, and specialized maintenance firms, fostering competitive bidding environments to ensure value and reliability. Her procurement approach emphasizes transparency, full and open competition, and adherence to performance metrics, encouraging vendors to demonstrate operational capacity, workforce training, and compliance with federal labor standards. Edmonds-Duke maintains a strong preference for full and open competition, with 100% of her acquisitions conducted without set-asides. This reflects a strategic decision to prioritize market-wide competition over socioeconomic designations, though she remains attentive to the capabilities of all eligible vendors, including those certified under 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs, when they submit responsive proposals. Her contracting patterns indicate a results-driven philosophy focused on service delivery rather than socioeconomic targeting. Her technical expertise lies exclusively in NAICS 811219, where she procures a range of facility support services including routine cleaning, waste disposal, pest control, and minor repair services for government-owned infrastructure. She is well-versed in the nuances of service-level agreements, labor classification compliance under the Service Contract Act, and performance evaluation frameworks that ensure consistent, high-quality maintenance operations across federal facilities.
