Michelle Washington

Michelle Washington serves as a Contract Support Specialist, providing critical administrative and operational support to the agency’s acquisition lifecycle. She assists in the preparation, execution, and administration of contracts across a diverse range of services, ensuring compliance with FAR regulations and agency procurement policies. Her role encompasses drafting solicitation documents, coordinating with technical evaluators, managing contract modifications, and maintaining accurate procurement records. Washington typically handles non-construction service contracts requiring detailed scope definition and performance-based outcomes, with a focus on management consulting, general government support, and facility-related services. While specific contractor names are not available, Washington engages with a broad spectrum of vendors, including large professional services firms and small businesses offering specialized administrative, food service, and facility support solutions. Her working relationships are characterized by structured collaboration with prime contractors and subcontractors, ensuring clear communication of performance expectations and regulatory compliance. She facilitates vendor onboarding, contract closeouts, and post-award oversight, contributing to a transparent and accountable procurement environment. Washington demonstrates a strong preference for open competition, with 91.3% of her acquisitions issued without set-asides. However, she consistently supports small business participation, allocating 8.7% of contracts to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate effort to foster competition among small businesses while maintaining flexibility for mission-critical requirements. Her approach aligns with federal goals to expand economic opportunity without compromising acquisition efficiency. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541611 (Administrative Management and General Management Consulting Services), followed by 921190 (Other General Government Support) and 722310 (Food Service Contractors). She routinely procures professional advisory services, operational support functions, and facility-based services including lodging and dining for government personnel. Her technical expertise centers on service-based acquisitions requiring performance metrics, outcome-based evaluations, and robust contract management frameworks.
