Lanie C Bolin

Lanie C. Bolin serves as a Contracting Officer responsible for managing complex acquisitions in support of federal research and technology initiatives. In this role, she ensures compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation while executing full lifecycle contracting actions—from market research and solicitation development to award and contract administration. Her portfolio centers on high-technical-service contracts requiring specialized expertise in scientific research and information technology systems, aligning with agency missions that demand innovation-driven solutions. Bolin routinely handles competitive procurements under both full and open competition and limited set-asides, emphasizing transparency, fair competition, and regulatory rigor. While specific contractor names are not available, Bolin’s contracting patterns reflect consistent engagement with firms possessing deep technical capabilities in engineering research, computer systems design, and communications equipment manufacturing. She fosters collaborative relationships with vendors capable of delivering R&D-intensive services, often requiring cybersecurity compliance, data analytics, and systems integration expertise. Her procurement approach prioritizes performance-based contracting and clear statement of work development to ensure measurable outcomes and accountability. Bolin demonstrates a strong preference for full and open competition, with 90% of her awards issued without set-asides. However, she actively supports small business participation, allocating 10% of her portfolio to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a measured commitment to socioeconomic goals, ensuring qualified small businesses have equitable access to opportunities without compromising mission-critical requirements. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541715 and 541712, encompassing physical, engineering, and life sciences research services, alongside 541512 for computer systems design and 334220 for wireless communications equipment. She specializes in acquiring advanced technical services involving data modeling, laboratory support, software development, and telecommunications infrastructure—domains requiring precise technical evaluation and risk-managed acquisition strategies.
