Kim Oanh P. Scott

Kim Oanh P. Scott serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from requirements definition and market research to contract award and administration. She plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and supports her agency’s mission by delivering timely, cost-effective solutions through competitive procurement processes. Her portfolio primarily encompasses information technology services, facilities support, and professional training contracts, with a focus on securing high-quality, mission-critical capabilities through sealed bidding and negotiated acquisitions under FAR Part 15. While specific contractor names are not available, her contracting patterns reflect consistent engagement with a diverse pool of vendors, including both large systems integrators and small businesses offering specialized IT and support services. She fosters collaborative vendor relationships grounded in transparency, fair competition, and performance-based contract management, ensuring accountability and alignment with technical specifications and delivery timelines. Scott demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with nearly 29% of her awards structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to promote economic opportunity and expand the government’s vendor base by prioritizing small business eligibility. Her approach aligns with federal socioeconomic goals, though no other set-aside categories such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB are currently predominant in her portfolio. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541511 (Custom Computer Programming Services), where she regularly acquires software development, system integration, and application modernization solutions. Additional emphasis is placed on NAICS 423430 (Computer Equipment Wholesalers) and 561210 (Facilities Support Services), indicating a balanced need for both technical and operational support. She also procures training services under NAICS 611420 and institutional education services under 611310, demonstrating expertise in both technical and human capital development domains.
