LaToya Lanier

LaToya Q. Lanier serves as an Acquisition Program Manager responsible for leading the end-to-end procurement lifecycle for engineering services across federal initiatives. In this role, she ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while aligning contract strategies with mission-critical objectives. She manages complex, performance-based acquisitions requiring technical rigor, risk mitigation, and stakeholder coordination, typically overseeing sole-source and competitive procurements for professional engineering support. Her work is central to delivering infrastructure, systems integration, and technical analysis capabilities that underpin operational readiness and innovation within her organization. LaToya cultivates collaborative relationships with a broad spectrum of engineering service providers, including large prime contractors and specialized consulting firms with deep domain expertise in civil, mechanical, and systems engineering. Her procurement approach emphasizes merit-based competition, rigorous source selection, and performance evaluation, fostering long-term vendor partnerships built on quality, timeliness, and regulatory compliance. She actively engages with industry through pre-solicitation outreach and market research to ensure contract requirements reflect current technical capabilities and market conditions. LaToya’s contracting patterns reflect a strong preference for open, non-set-aside competitions, with 100% of her acquisitions conducted under general competition. While she does not routinely utilize socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs, her procurement decisions prioritize technical merit, past performance, and cost-effectiveness, ensuring the highest value delivery for mission-critical engineering services. Her primary focus is on NAICS 541330 — Engineering Services — encompassing a wide array of technical disciplines including structural analysis, environmental engineering, geotechnical design, and systems engineering support. She procures services that support facility modernization, infrastructure resilience, and technical advisory functions, requiring deep subject matter expertise and certified professional licensure. LaToya’s domain knowledge ensures that contract deliverables meet rigorous engineering standards and regulatory benchmarks.
