Katrina L. Coleman

Katrina L. Coleman serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from requirements definition and market research through solicitation, evaluation, award, and contract administration. She plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and advancing mission-critical procurement objectives for her organization. Her portfolio primarily consists of professional and scientific services, with a strong emphasis on research and development activities in the physical, engineering, and life sciences. Coleman routinely handles complex, non-personal services contracts requiring technical expertise and careful performance monitoring, often supporting scientific innovation and institutional capacity-building initiatives. While specific contractor names are not available, Coleman’s procurement patterns indicate consistent engagement with a diverse range of vendors, including research institutions, professional associations, and educational support providers. Her working relationships reflect a preference for established service providers with demonstrated capability in technical and analytical domains, often partnering with firms possessing deep subject-matter expertise in science, engineering, and higher education support services. She maintains a collaborative, compliance-driven approach to vendor engagement, emphasizing transparency, fair competition, and performance accountability. Coleman’s contracting activity is overwhelmingly non-set-aside, with 92.3% of awards issued under full and open competition, reflecting a focus on broad market access and technical merit. However, she consistently reserves 7.7% of opportunities for Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a measured but deliberate commitment to small business participation. Her approach aligns with agency goals to foster economic opportunity while maintaining rigorous standards for capability and performance. Her primary procurement focus is on NAICS 541712, encompassing R&D services in physical, engineering, and life sciences, where she secures specialized technical support, data analysis, and laboratory services. Additional activity includes procurement of educational support services (611710), professional organizations (813920), and institutional services (611310, 721110), indicating a broad but technically grounded portfolio centered on knowledge-based and mission-enabling services.
