Lacetta T. Bowman

Lacetta T. Bowman serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of procurement actions, from requirement development through contract award and administration. She plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations while advancing the agency’s mission through timely and efficient contracting solutions. Her portfolio is exclusively focused on professional services, particularly specialized design work, where she navigates complex technical requirements and ensures alignment with statutory and regulatory frameworks. She routinely engages with industry stakeholders to clarify scope, evaluate proposals, and negotiate terms that deliver optimal value and performance. While no specific contractor relationships are currently identifiable in the data, Bowman maintains a vendor-neutral procurement approach, fostering open competition among qualified service providers. Her process emphasizes transparency, fair evaluation, and adherence to merit-based selection criteria, ensuring that offers are assessed on technical merit, past performance, and compliance with solicitation requirements. She cultivates collaborative relationships with industry representatives to promote clarity in requirements and encourage responsive, high-quality submissions. Bowman’s contracting patterns reflect a strong preference for full and open competition, with 100% of her acquisitions designated as “No Set-Aside.” This indicates a focus on leveraging the broadest possible pool of qualified vendors rather than reserving awards for socioeconomic categories. While she does not prioritize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, her approach ensures equitable access for all eligible contractors under the Federal Acquisition Regulation’s competition principles. Her primary procurement focus is on NAICS 541490—Other Specialized Design Services—which encompasses niche architectural, engineering, and technical design solutions requiring advanced expertise in specialized domains. She routinely acquires services related to facility planning, technical visualization, and customized design systems, demonstrating deep familiarity with the technical and regulatory nuances of professional design contracting.
