Katina Guidry

Katina Guidry serves as a key procurement lead within the Department of Labor’s Cas Division 1 Procurement, overseeing the acquisition of specialized technical services critical to enforcing federal labor standards and advancing occupational health monitoring. Her role centers on managing competitive solicitations for high-precision data collection systems, analytical instrumentation, and expert consulting services that support regulatory compliance and evidence-based policy development. She ensures all procurements align with DOL’s mission to safeguard workplace safety through rigorous technical oversight and compliance with federal acquisition regulations, with a consistent focus on court reporting and stenotype services as the primary acquisition domain. Guidry maintains strategic relationships with a limited pool of trusted contractors, notably Franklin Young International, Incorporated, and Berkeley Research Group, LLC, both of which provide expert technical support, transcription services, and analytical consulting for labor enforcement initiatives. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for long-term, performance-based partnerships with vendors capable of delivering secure, accurate, and timely documentation and data analysis services under strict federal standards. These relationships are characterized by repeat engagements and a focus on quality, reliability, and adherence to confidentiality protocols. A strong advocate for small business participation, Guidry consistently structures solicitations as Total Small Business Set-Asides, with 85.7% of awards reserved for small businesses under FAR 19.5, and 14.3% designated for Women-Owned Small Businesses. This reflects a deliberate, sustained commitment to socioeconomic equity and capacity-building within the federal contracting ecosystem, ensuring diverse vendors have meaningful access to mission-critical opportunities. Her procurement expertise is narrowly focused on NAICS 561492—Court Reporting and Stenotype Services—where she procures verbatim transcription, real-time captioning, deposition support, and audio-visual documentation services essential to labor investigations, hearings, and compliance audits. This specialization demands deep technical understanding of stenographic technologies, legal documentation standards, and secure data handling protocols, positioning Guidry as a subject-matter expert in niche, compliance-driven technical services.
