Millicent L Hawkins

Millicent M. Hawkins serves as a Contract Specialist within the GSA Federal Acquisition Service’s FAS AAS Fedsim team, where she plays a pivotal role in executing mission-critical procurements that support national infrastructure and defense readiness. Her responsibilities encompass the full lifecycle of contract actions—from market research and solicitation development to award and administration—for specialized professional, technical, and logistics services. She focuses on acquisitions that enable IT modernization, secure data management, and advanced warehousing solutions, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and alignment with the agency’s strategic objectives for operational efficiency and scalability. Hawkins cultivates strategic partnerships with a diverse range of vendors, including established systems integrators, logistics providers, and niche IT service firms. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, she consistently engages with firms capable of delivering secure, scalable, and compliant solutions across technical and operational domains. Her working relationships emphasize performance-based outcomes, rigorous contract oversight, and collaborative vendor engagement to meet evolving federal operational demands. She demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with 20% of her acquisitions designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, reflecting a deliberate effort to expand opportunities for small businesses. Though the majority of her contracts remain open to all competitors, her procurement patterns actively prioritize small business participation without relying on specialized set-asides like 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS codes related to warehousing and IT services, particularly General Warehousing and Storage (493110), Refrigerated Warehousing and Storage (493120), and Custom Computer Programming Services (541511). She routinely procures logistics infrastructure, cold-chain storage systems, and bespoke software solutions that support federal pharmaceutical, defense, and IT modernization initiatives, showcasing deep expertise in technical domains requiring high reliability and regulatory compliance.
