Mellissa A. Dominick

Mellissa A. Dominick serves as a procurement professional responsible for managing complex acquisitions across a diverse range of technical and industrial domains. Her work supports mission-critical government operations through the strategic use of competitive contracting methods, with a strong emphasis on commercial solutions and non-set-aside procurements. She typically handles requirements involving custom software development, specialized manufacturing, and communications equipment, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations while balancing efficiency, innovation, and market responsiveness. Her role is central to translating agency needs into solicitation documents that attract qualified vendors and foster a competitive contracting environment. Dominick maintains a broad vendor base, engaging with both large prime contractors and niche suppliers across multiple sectors. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, she consistently works with firms capable of delivering high-precision manufacturing, bespoke software systems, and telecommunications infrastructure. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for open competition, leveraging full and open solicitations under FAR Part 15 to ensure technical excellence and value. She fosters collaborative relationships with vendors who demonstrate proven capability, past performance, and compliance with quality assurance standards. Her set-aside preferences are heavily skewed toward non-set-aside acquisitions, with 93.3% of awards issued under full and open competition. Only 6.7% are designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, indicating a deliberate focus on market-driven selection rather than socioeconomic preferences. This reflects a procurement strategy prioritizing technical merit and capability over socioeconomically targeted categories, though she remains compliant with all small business participation requirements. Dominick’s primary procurement focus centers on NAICS 541511 for custom computer programming services, followed by 332112 for nonferrous forging and 334220 for radio and telecommunications equipment manufacturing. She also regularly procures services under 811219 and manufactured home production under 321991. Her technical expertise spans software development lifecycles, precision metal forming, RF communication systems, and facility-related maintenance services, demonstrating a multidisciplinary approach to acquisition planning and execution.
