Melissa Volkman

Melissa Volkman serves as a procurement professional within the General Services Administration’s Federal Acquisition Service, supporting the OASIS+ program’s mission to deliver agile, high-value professional and technical services across federal agencies. She manages the acquisition lifecycle for complex, task-order-based contracts under the OASIS+ indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) vehicle, ensuring alignment with strategic priorities such as innovation, scalability, and rapid response to mission-critical needs. Her work centers on securing specialized consulting, systems integration, and analytical services that enable federal clients to execute technical and operational objectives efficiently. Volkman maintains a streamlined contractor engagement model, partnering with a broad base of qualified vendors through the OASIS+ pool. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, she consistently facilitates fair and open competition among pre-vetted, highly qualified firms holding OASIS+ contracts. Her approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, clear statement of work development, and rigorous compliance with FAR requirements, fostering transparent, accountable relationships with contractors across the professional services ecosystem. A steadfast advocate for small business participation, Volkman applies a 100% small business set-aside strategy across all OASIS+ acquisitions under her purview, in full alignment with FAR Part 19.5. This reflects a deliberate, program-wide commitment to economic inclusion and workforce development, ensuring that small businesses—particularly those certified under 8(a), HUBZone, and SDVOSB programs—have equitable access to high-impact federal opportunities. Her procurement focus is exclusively on NAICS 541990, encompassing all other professional, scientific, and technical services. This includes specialized expertise in data analytics, program management, policy analysis, technical advisory services, and operational support—domains critical to modernizing federal operations. Volkman’s work ensures agencies access cutting-edge, non-commodity professional services tailored to evolving mission requirements.
