Judy A Silver

Judy A. Silver serves as a Contracting Officer responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, ensuring compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation and agency procurement policies. She oversees the planning, solicitation, evaluation, and award of contracts to meet mission-critical needs, with a focus on delivering timely, cost-effective, and legally sound outcomes. Her role is central to the agency’s mission of acquiring goods and services that support operational readiness and public service delivery. She typically handles complex, multi-year procurements across a broad spectrum of professional, technical, and administrative services, often coordinating with program managers, legal counsel, and financial officers to align contracting strategy with organizational objectives. Judy maintains a vendor-neutral procurement approach, engaging with a diverse pool of contractors without reliance on any single entity. She fosters competitive, transparent bidding processes and encourages broad market participation through open solicitations. Her working relationships are characterized by professionalism, adherence to ethical standards, and a commitment to fair and impartial contract administration. She regularly collaborates with prime contractors, subcontractors, and industry representatives to clarify requirements, resolve technical ambiguities, and ensure contract performance aligns with stated deliverables. Her procurement patterns reflect a strong preference for full and open competition, with 100% of her awards issued without set-aside restrictions. This demonstrates a deliberate strategy to maximize market access and leverage competition to achieve optimal value, rather than prioritizing socioeconomic programs. While she does not routinely utilize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, she remains compliant with all applicable small business goals and may include small business subcontracting requirements where appropriate to support broader agency objectives. Judy’s acquisitions span a wide range of professional and support services, though specific NAICS categories are not currently identifiable. Her expertise lies in procuring mission-enabling services such as logistics support, administrative operations, technical consulting, and program management. She demonstrates proficiency in evaluating proposals under best-value tradeoff methodologies and has a keen understanding of performance-based contracting, statement of work development, and risk mitigation in service-based acquisitions.
