Lesley Marie Dooley

Lesley Marie Dooley serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from requirement validation and market research through solicitation, evaluation, award, and contract administration. Her role is central to ensuring compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and promoting transparency, competition, and efficiency in the procurement process. She specializes in non-traditional and information services contracts, frequently handling complex procurements that require nuanced technical understanding and strategic vendor engagement. Her work directly supports mission-critical operations by securing high-quality services aligned with agency objectives and regulatory standards. While no specific contractor relationships are identifiable due to limited award data, Dooley consistently engages with a broad spectrum of vendors, including both large industry providers and small business concerns, fostering competitive environments that encourage innovation and value. Her procurement approach emphasizes fair and open competition, with a clear preference for unrestricted solicitations that maximize market participation. She maintains professional, arms-length relationships with contractors, ensuring adherence to ethical standards and avoiding conflicts of interest. Dooley demonstrates a strong commitment to small business opportunities, with 16.7% of her acquisitions structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. Although the majority of her contracts remain unrestricted, her consistent use of small business set-asides reflects a deliberate effort to expand economic access and support the growth of small, disadvantaged firms. Her contracting patterns align with federal socioeconomic goals, prioritizing equitable participation without reliance on specialized set-aside programs such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB. Her primary procurement focus is exclusively on NAICS Code 519130, which encompasses Other Information Services, including data processing, web portals, digital content aggregation, and other information-related support services. This specialization indicates deep expertise in managing contracts for cloud-based platforms, digital information systems, and technology-enabled content delivery solutions, positioning her as a key practitioner in the evolving information services sector.
