Paquetta N. Myrick-Hancock

Paquetta N. Myrick-Hancock serves as a Contracting Officer responsible for managing the acquisition lifecycle for professional services critical to federal operational efficiency. In this role, she ensures compliance with federal procurement regulations while advancing agency mission objectives through transparent, competitive contracting processes. She routinely handles complex service-based acquisitions under FAR Part 12 and Part 15, with a focus on performance-based contracting and outcome-driven requirements. Her work supports the procurement of advisory and management services that enhance organizational effectiveness across federal operations. Myrick-Hancock cultivates collaborative relationships with a diverse pool of vendors, primarily engaging consulting firms and insurance services providers with proven technical capabilities and past performance in federal environments. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, she consistently evaluates proposals through merit-based source selection, emphasizing technical merit, cost realism, and small business subcontracting plans. Her approach fosters fair competition and encourages vendor innovation through clear solicitation language and structured evaluation criteria. She maintains a strong preference for full and open competition, with 100% of her acquisitions conducted without set-asides, reflecting a strategic focus on maximizing market participation and leveraging broad industry expertise. This approach underscores her commitment to efficiency and value, rather than socioeconomic targeting, while still encouraging small business involvement through voluntary subcontracting opportunities. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541611, where she specializes in administrative and general management consulting services—including strategic planning, process improvement, and organizational development. She also regularly acquires services under NAICS 524298, encompassing insurance-related activities such as risk assessment, claims administration support, and regulatory compliance consulting. Her domain expertise centers on high-integrity, non-technical service acquisitions that require nuanced understanding of federal governance and operational workflows.
