Nammi Shadrach

Nammi Shadrach serves as a Contract Specialist within the Contracts and Acquisitions Management unit of the Department of Education, where they play a pivotal role in executing strategic procurements that advance federal education policy and institutional capacity. Responsible for managing the full lifecycle of professional services contracts, Shadrach ensures compliance with FAR regulations while aligning acquisitions with the agency’s mission to strengthen postsecondary education infrastructure, regulatory compliance, and federal student aid systems. Their portfolio primarily consists of consulting and educational support services designed to enhance data-driven decision-making and operational efficiency across federally funded education programs. Shadrach maintains a consistent working relationship with LPE-STRATEGIES LLC, a key contractor providing administrative management and educational support services. Their procurement approach emphasizes long-term vendor partnerships grounded in performance-based outcomes and clear deliverables, fostering collaboration with firms capable of delivering high-quality, evidence-based solutions. These relationships are characterized by repeat engagements and structured performance metrics, reflecting a focus on contractor reliability and mission alignment over transactional procurement. While the majority of Shadrach’s acquisitions are conducted as open competitions—reflecting a 75% no set-aside preference—they actively support small business participation through Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a balanced commitment to both competition and socioeconomic goals. Their contracting patterns reflect a deliberate effort to create accessible pathways for qualified small businesses without compromising procurement integrity or mission outcomes. Shadrach’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541611 (Administrative Management and General Management Consulting Services), where they procure strategic advisory services to modernize education systems and improve federal program governance. A secondary focus on NAICS 611710 (Educational Support Services) underscores their work in acquiring technical assistance, data analytics, and compliance support tailored to postsecondary institutions and federal aid administration. Their expertise centers on professional services that enhance institutional capacity and regulatory alignment within the education sector.
