Monica A. Divelbess

Monica A. Divelbess serves as a Contract Specialist within the General Services Administration’s Federal Acquisition Service (FAS) Region 8, where she plays a pivotal role in executing mission-critical procurements that support federal cybersecurity resilience, digital infrastructure modernization, and operational facility sustainment. She manages the full lifecycle of complex acquisitions for technical services, including systems design, engineering support, and administrative management consulting, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and alignment with GSA’s strategic objectives. Her work directly enables federal agencies across the region to access innovative, secure, and scalable solutions critical to national operations. Monica collaborates with a diverse range of vendors, including large prime contractors and small business subcontractors, to deliver high-performance technical services. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, she consistently engages firms with demonstrated expertise in IT systems design, facilities management, and operational consulting. Her procurement approach emphasizes competitive transparency, performance-based outcomes, and vendor accountability, fostering long-term partnerships grounded in reliability and regulatory compliance. Monica exhibits a strong preference for open, unrestricted competition, with 83.3% of her acquisitions conducted without set-asides. However, she actively supports socioeconomic goals by allocating 16.7% of her contracting activity to 8(a) competed contracts, demonstrating a balanced commitment to both efficiency and equitable small business participation. Her pattern reflects a strategic emphasis on capability over classification, ensuring mission needs are met while still advancing opportunities for certified small businesses. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541611 (Administrative Management and General Management Consulting Services), followed by 561210 (Facilities Support Services) and 541512 (Computer Systems Design Services). She specializes in acquiring technical advisory services, IT infrastructure modernization, facility operations support, and systems integration solutions, positioning her at the intersection of operational efficiency and technological innovation within the federal landscape.
