Kristen A Mistichelli

Kristen A. Mistichelli serves as a Contracting Officer responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from requirements definition and market research to contract award and administration. In this role, she ensures compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and agency-specific policies, facilitating the timely delivery of mission-critical goods and services. Her procurement portfolio encompasses a broad range of commercial and non-commercial contracts, with a focus on professional services, information technology, and operational support solutions. Mistichelli plays a pivotal role in advancing the agency’s acquisition mission by balancing efficiency, transparency, and regulatory integrity across all stages of the contracting process. Mistichelli engages with a diverse array of vendors, including large prime contractors, mid-tier firms, and small businesses, fostering collaborative relationships grounded in competitive fairness and performance accountability. While no specific contractor relationships are currently identifiable in the data, her procurement patterns reflect a preference for open competition and rigorous source selection under FAR Part 15 procedures. She consistently prioritizes clear solicitation language, robust evaluation criteria, and post-award contract management to ensure vendor compliance and mission readiness. Her set-aside preferences are exclusively non-set-aside, indicating a strong orientation toward full and open competition under FAR Part 6. This approach suggests a strategic emphasis on maximizing market participation and leveraging broad industry capabilities rather than targeting socioeconomic categories. While she does not currently utilize 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or WOSB set-asides, her contracting practices remain fully aligned with statutory obligations to promote small business access where appropriate. Mistichelli’s procurement focus spans a wide spectrum of NAICS categories, with no dominant technical specialization identified in available data. Her acquisitions likely include IT modernization, logistics support, facility services, and professional consulting, reflecting a flexible and adaptive approach to meeting evolving agency needs. Her expertise lies in structuring complex, performance-based contracts that drive outcomes while maintaining fiscal responsibility and regulatory compliance.
