Nancy Rhodes

Nancy Rhodes serves as a procurement professional responsible for managing acquisitions that support critical health and facility services within her agency. She plays a central role in executing the agency’s contracting strategy by overseeing the solicitation, evaluation, and award of contracts aligned with mission-critical operational needs. Her portfolio primarily encompasses direct health and medical insurance carrier services, as well as landscaping and grounds maintenance contracts, reflecting a dual focus on healthcare infrastructure and environmental stewardship. She ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations and coordinates with program offices to align procurement outcomes with operational requirements. Her contractor relationships are broad-based and market-driven, with no singular dominant vendor. She engages with a diverse pool of qualified vendors, including both large national providers and local service firms, maintaining a competitive and transparent acquisition process. Her approach emphasizes open competition and value-based selection, fostering vendor reliability and performance accountability across contract life cycles. Nancy Rhodes has a consistent pattern of awarding contracts under the “No Set-Aside” category, indicating a preference for full and open competition without socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs. While she does not prioritize targeted small business set-asides, her procurement practices remain compliant with all federal small business goals, and small businesses may still participate as subcontractors or prime contractors through open solicitations. Her primary NAICS focus is on 524114 (Direct Health and Medical Insurance Carriers), where she procures managed care, claims administration, and member services contracts. She also frequently acquires landscaping services under 561730, ensuring compliance with federal facility maintenance standards. Her expertise lies in evaluating technical proposals for healthcare insurance delivery systems and environmental service performance metrics, demonstrating specialized knowledge in both health benefits administration and facility support contracting.
