Laurie A Rowe

Laurie A. Rowe serves as a Contracting Officer responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from market research and solicitation development to contract award and administration. In this role, she ensures compliance with federal procurement regulations while advancing agency mission objectives through strategic sourcing. Her portfolio primarily encompasses service-based contracts requiring rigorous performance management and vendor oversight, with a focus on food service, administrative support, and security operations. She plays a critical role in translating operational needs into legally sound, competitively awarded contracts that deliver value and accountability. While no specific contractor relationships are currently identifiable in the data, Ms. Rowe consistently engages with a diverse pool of vendors, including both large service providers and small businesses capable of delivering specialized operational support. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for open competition and performance-based outcomes, fostering transparent, results-driven vendor partnerships. She emphasizes clear statement of work development, robust evaluation criteria, and post-award monitoring to ensure contractor accountability and service quality. Ms. Rowe’s procurement activity is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of her awards conducted under full and open competition. This reflects a deliberate strategy to maximize market participation and ensure the best value through broad-based competition, rather than socioeconomic set-asides. While she does not prioritize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, her approach still supports small business participation by encouraging competitive bids from all eligible entities under open solicitations. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 722310 (Food Service Contractors), where she manages catering, meal preparation, and dining operations; NAICS 561110 (Office Administrative Services), covering clerical, records management, and front-office support; and NAICS 561612 (Security Guards and Patrol Services), which includes armed and unarmed personnel for facility protection. Her expertise spans contract types such as IDIQs, CPFF, and T&M, with deep familiarity in service-level agreements, performance work statements, and quality assurance surveillance plans.
