Michelle D. Coleman

Michelle D. Coleman serves as Chief of the Contracting Office, overseeing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions to support mission-critical infrastructure and operational needs. In this leadership role, she ensures compliance with federal procurement regulations, directs contract strategy, and approves solicitation documents across a range of construction, industrial, and security services. Her office is responsible for executing competitive procurements that align with agency objectives, emphasizing transparency, value, and regulatory integrity. She typically manages complex, multi-year contracts involving design-build construction, specialized industrial services, and integrated security operations, working closely with technical stakeholders to define requirements and evaluate vendor proposals. While no specific contractor relationships are currently identifiable in the dataset, Ms. Coleman’s office engages with a broad spectrum of vendors, including general contractors, industrial service providers, and security firms, typically through sealed bidding and negotiated procurements under FAR Part 15. Her team fosters collaborative vendor relationships grounded in performance-based contracting, ensuring accountability through clear deliverables and robust contract administration practices. Ms. Coleman’s office demonstrates a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of awards issued under non-set-aside procedures. This reflects a strategic focus on maximizing competition and ensuring the best value through full and open procurement, rather than socioeconomic set-asides. While small business participation is not formally prioritized through designated programs such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB, all vendors are evaluated on technical merit and past performance under standardized criteria. Her primary procurement focus lies in Commercial and Institutional Building Construction (NAICS 236220), with significant activity in electroplating and surface treatment services (NAICS 332813), electrical wholesaling (NAICS 423610), and security guard services (NAICS 561612). These categories indicate expertise in managing facility infrastructure, industrial maintenance, and physical security operations, requiring deep familiarity with construction standards, hazardous material handling, and personnel screening protocols.
