Stephens serves as a Contract Specialist within the General Services Administration’s Federal Acquisition Service, Region 11, where she plays a pivotal role in executing mission-critical information technology and professional services acquisitions. Responsible for full lifecycle contract management, she ensures compliance with federal procurement regulations while advancing GSA’s strategic goals in digital modernization and cybersecurity. Her portfolio primarily centers on engineering services contracts, supporting the design, integration, and deployment of secure, scalable IT systems for federal agencies. She works closely with program offices to translate technical requirements into enforceable solicitation language, ensuring alignment with NIST standards and FedRAMP requirements. Stephens collaborates with a broad spectrum of industry partners, including established systems integrators and niche engineering firms specializing in government IT modernization. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, she consistently engages vendors with proven expertise in systems engineering, software development lifecycle management, and cybersecurity architecture. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, clear statement of work definitions, and rigorous source selection criteria to ensure technical excellence and mission readiness. Her acquisition strategy reflects a strong preference for unrestricted competition, with 100% of her awards issued under the No Set-Aside category. This indicates a focus on technical capability and value over socioeconomic set-asides, aligning with the high-complexity nature of engineering services she procures. While she does not prioritize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs, her process remains fully compliant with all socioeconomic regulations and supports fair and open competition. Her primary NAICS focus is 541330 (Engineering Services), reflecting deep specialization in technical domains such as systems architecture, network modernization, cloud infrastructure design, and cybersecurity engineering. She routinely procures services related to legacy system migration, secure application development, and IT operational support—ensuring federal clients receive agile, resilient, and compliant technology solutions.
