Lasondia Chaney

Lasondia Chaney serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from requirement development through contract award and administration. She plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and promoting efficient, transparent procurement practices. Her portfolio primarily consists of professional services contracts, with a strong emphasis on technical, scientific, and administrative support services. Chaney works closely with program offices to translate mission needs into solicitation requirements, ensuring alignment with statutory mandates and agency objectives. While specific contractor names are not available, her contracting patterns indicate a diverse vendor ecosystem, including both large professional services firms and small businesses offering specialized expertise. She engages with contractors across multiple sectors, fostering competitive environments while maintaining rigorous oversight of performance and compliance. Her approach emphasizes fair and open competition, with a balanced reliance on both unrestricted and socioeconomically targeted opportunities. Chaney demonstrates a clear preference for unrestricted competition, with 82.1% of her awards issued without set-aside restrictions. However, she consistently supports small business participation, allocating 10.7% of awards to 8(a) competed contracts and 7.1% to total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to leverage small business capabilities while maintaining broad competition, aligning with federal goals for socioeconomic inclusion without compromising acquisition efficiency. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541990 (All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services), indicating a strong emphasis on multidisciplinary advisory and technical support. She also regularly procures services under NAICS 541720 (Research and Development in the Social Sciences and Humanities) and NAICS 541611 (Management Consulting Services), underscoring her expertise in human-centered research, policy analysis, and organizational advisory services. Occasional acquisitions in janitorial services (NAICS 561720) suggest a broader operational support role, highlighting her adaptability across diverse functional domains.
