Lorraine LaFleur

Lorraine LaFleur serves as a Project Manager within GSA’s Federal Acquisition Service (FAS) Region 1, where she leads the planning, execution, and oversight of mission-critical procurement initiatives for specialized technical equipment and consulting services essential to national security and public safety operations. Her portfolio centers on acquiring advanced CBRN defense systems, precision measuring and control devices, and scientific technical consulting solutions that support federal agencies operating in high-risk environments. She ensures acquisitions align with federal regulatory frameworks and agency-specific operational requirements, bridging technical needs with compliant contracting practices. While specific contractor names are not disclosed in available data, Lorraine collaborates with a diverse range of vendors, including mid-tier defense contractors, niche manufacturers of sensing and monitoring technologies, and specialized technical service providers. Her working relationships emphasize performance-based outcomes, technical validation, and compliance with federal quality standards, fostering partnerships with firms capable of delivering ruggedized, certified equipment for hazardous operational conditions. Lorraine demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with 42.9% of her acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. Her contracting patterns reflect a deliberate focus on enabling small businesses to compete for high-impact technical contracts, consistently prioritizing opportunities for small businesses without favoring specific socioeconomic categories such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB, thereby maintaining broad access and competitive fairness. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541690 (Other Scientific and Technical Consulting Services) and 334519 (Other Measuring and Controlling Device Manufacturing), reflecting deep expertise in securing custom-engineered instrumentation, environmental monitoring systems, and expert advisory services for CBRN threat mitigation. She regularly procures devices such as radiation detectors, chemical sniffers, and wearable biosensors, ensuring federal responders are equipped with cutting-edge, field-proven technology tailored to dynamic operational demands.
