Kellei F. McCray

Kellei F. McCray serves as a Contract Specialist at the GSA/FAS Region 7 Acquisition Center, where she plays a pivotal role in executing procurements that sustain federal operational readiness across industrial and institutional environments. Responsible for managing full lifecycle acquisitions, she specializes in securing high-volume, standardized manufactured goods critical to daily government functions—including durable equipment, institutional supplies, and mission-critical consumables. Her work directly supports the agency’s mission to streamline acquisition pathways for essential commodities, ensuring reliable, cost-effective sourcing through competitive contracting mechanisms and compliant federal procurement practices. McCray maintains strong, ongoing relationships with key contractors including MACGYVER SOLUTIONS, INC., FEDERAL SUPPLY SERVICES INTERNATIONAL LLC., B.W. WILSON PAPER COMPANY, INCORPORATED, and COMSIS SOLUTIONS LLC. These partnerships reflect a focus on vendors capable of delivering consistent, high-quality manufactured goods at scale, often under indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) and blanket purchase agreements. Her contracting approach emphasizes vendor reliability, delivery performance, and compliance with federal quality standards, fostering long-term supplier engagement built on transparency and performance accountability. Her procurement portfolio demonstrates a strong preference for open, competed acquisitions, with 74.1% of awards issued without socioeconomic set-asides, indicating a focus on broad market competition. However, she actively supports small business participation, with 25.9% of awards directed toward 8(a) certified firms, reflecting a balanced commitment to both efficiency and socioeconomic goals under the Federal Acquisition Regulation. McCray’s technical expertise centers on NAICS categories 332999 (Miscellaneous Fabricated Metal Products) and 325611 (Soap and Detergent Manufacturing), each accounting for nearly 40% of her portfolio. She routinely procures metal kitchenware, industrial cleaning compounds, and institutional textiles such as curtains and woven fabrics. This specialization underscores her domain knowledge in manufacturing supply chains for federal facilities, ensuring procurement aligns with functional, durability, and safety requirements.
