Missy Forbes

Missy Forbes serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of procurement actions, from requirements development through contract award and administration. She plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations while advancing mission-critical objectives through timely and efficient contracting solutions. Her portfolio is exclusively focused on information services and digital content delivery, with a strong emphasis on non-traditional, technology-enabled services that support public-facing digital platforms and data-driven operations. She routinely handles competitive solicitations under FAR Part 15 and utilizes simplified acquisition procedures where appropriate to streamline vendor engagement. Missy Forbes maintains a broad and inclusive contractor base, engaging with a diverse array of vendors ranging from large systems integrators to niche digital service providers. While no single contractor dominates her award profile, she consistently fosters relationships with firms capable of delivering agile, scalable, and secure information solutions. Her contracting approach prioritizes performance-based outcomes, clear statement of work development, and robust evaluation criteria that emphasize technical capability, past performance, and operational readiness. Missy’s procurement patterns reflect a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of her acquisitions designated as “No Set-Aside.” This reflects a strategic focus on maximizing competition and selecting the most qualified offeror regardless of socioeconomic status, while still ensuring full compliance with small business goals through unrestricted opportunities. She does not routinely utilize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, but remains committed to fair and transparent processes that allow all eligible firms to compete on an equal footing. Her primary procurement focus is on NAICS Code 519190—Other Information Services—which encompasses digital content creation, online publishing, web-based information aggregation, and data analytics services. She regularly procures custom software applications, content management systems, user experience design services, and cloud-based information platforms that support public engagement and digital transformation initiatives. Her technical expertise lies in evaluating non-traditional IT service providers capable of delivering innovative, user-centered digital solutions.
