Judy K Pace

Judy K. Pace serves as a Contractor Specialist responsible for managing the acquisition lifecycle for complex technical systems and training services. Her role centers on ensuring compliance with federal procurement regulations while delivering mission-critical capabilities to support national defense and communication infrastructure. She handles a diverse portfolio of contracts under FAR Part 12 and Part 15, including commercial item acquisitions and competitive sealed bidding, with a focus on engineering, electronics, and workforce development solutions. Her expertise lies in translating technical requirements into solicitations that attract qualified vendors while maintaining rigorous standards for performance, delivery, and accountability. While specific contractor names are not available, Judy consistently engages with a broad spectrum of vendors, including prime contractors specializing in communications equipment, instrumentation, and training services. Her procurement patterns reflect a preference for established industry players with proven technical capabilities, alongside active engagement with small business concerns. She fosters collaborative relationships with vendors through clear solicitation language, responsive pre-solicitation outreach, and post-award performance monitoring to ensure contractual compliance and mission readiness. Judy demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with 37.9% of her acquisitions structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. Her approach prioritizes inclusive competition, leveraging the full range of socioeconomic programs to expand market access for qualified small businesses. While no specific 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB preferences are dominant, her consistent use of small business set-asides reflects a deliberate strategy to enhance vendor diversity and promote economic opportunity within the federal contracting ecosystem.
