Linda McAdams

Linda McAdams serves as a Contracting Officer responsible for managing federal acquisitions across a diverse portfolio of professional, technical, and support services. She plays a critical role in executing the agency’s procurement mission by ensuring compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), promoting fair competition, and aligning contract awards with strategic operational needs. Her acquisitions typically involve complex service-based contracts requiring rigorous source selection procedures, including sealed bidding and negotiated procurements under FAR Part 15. She specializes in delivering mission-critical capabilities through transparent, accountable contracting practices that emphasize value, performance, and regulatory integrity. While specific contractor names are not available, Linda maintains collaborative relationships with a broad spectrum of vendors, including small businesses, mid-tier service providers, and specialized manufacturers. Her procurement approach fosters long-term vendor partnerships grounded in performance-based outcomes and clear statement of work definitions. She actively engages with industry through pre-solicitation outreach and market research to ensure requirements are well-defined and achievable, encouraging innovation and responsiveness from the vendor community. Linda demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with half of her awards structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to maximize opportunities for small businesses across multiple socioeconomic categories. Her consistent use of set-asides, balanced with open competitions, ensures broad market access while advancing federal goals for small business participation without compromising competition or mission readiness. Her primary procurement focus centers on NAICS 511210 (Software Publishers), reflecting a significant emphasis on digital content and software solutions. She also regularly procures services under NAICS 561210 (Facilities Support Services), 611430 (Professional Training), and 541611 (Management Consulting), alongside specialized manufacturing under 332994 for ordnance-related components. This blend of technical, administrative, and operational contracting demonstrates deep expertise in supporting both civilian and defense-related missions through integrated service delivery.
