Kay S. Doane

Kay S. Doane serves as a Contracting Officer responsible for managing federal acquisitions across a diverse range of service-based contracts. In this role, she ensures compliance with federal procurement regulations while advancing agency mission objectives through strategic sourcing and contract administration. Her portfolio primarily encompasses professional services, transportation support, and information services, with a focus on competitive, full and open competitions as well as targeted small business set-asides. Doane plays a critical role in executing the agency’s acquisition strategy by evaluating vendor proposals, negotiating terms, and ensuring performance accountability throughout the contract lifecycle. While specific contractor names are not available, Doane maintains relationships with a broad spectrum of vendors, including small businesses and mid-tier service providers, particularly those capable of delivering consulting, transportation, and media-related services. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for performance-based acquisitions and clear statement of work development, fostering transparent and results-driven vendor partnerships. She consistently engages with firms that demonstrate operational readiness, past performance credibility, and compliance with federal subcontracting requirements. Doane demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with nearly one-third of her awards directed toward Women-Owned Small Businesses (WOSB), reflecting a deliberate effort to expand opportunities for underrepresented entrepreneurs. The remaining two-thirds of her contracts are awarded under full and open competition, indicating a balanced approach that prioritizes both competition and inclusion. Her pattern of set-aside usage aligns with federal goals to promote equitable access to government contracting while maintaining fiscal responsibility. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 485510 (Charter Bus Industry), 511210 (Software Publishers), and 541611 (Administrative Management and General Management Consulting Services). This triad of specializations reveals expertise in procuring transportation logistics, digital content and software solutions, and strategic advisory services. Doane’s technical domain knowledge enables her to effectively evaluate complex service offerings and ensure alignment with operational needs across multiple mission areas.
