Patricia A Boykin

Patricia A. Boykin serves as a procurement professional responsible for managing a diverse portfolio of federal acquisitions, with a strong emphasis on information technology infrastructure, food service operations, and facility support services. Her role centers on ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations while delivering mission-critical capabilities to support agency operations. She routinely handles competitive solicitations under FAR Part 15, leveraging both full and open competition and targeted set-asides to meet operational needs. Her acquisitions span complex service contracts requiring rigorous performance metrics and vendor accountability, particularly in cloud-based computing, data hosting, and on-site catering and landscaping services. While specific contractor names are not available, Boykin maintains a consistent pattern of engagement with both large-scale service providers and small business vendors, fostering a balanced vendor ecosystem. Her procurement approach emphasizes performance-based contracting, resulting in long-term partnerships with firms capable of delivering scalable, secure, and reliable services. She prioritizes vendor responsiveness, past performance evaluation, and compliance with cybersecurity and labor standards, particularly in IT and food service domains. Boykin demonstrates a clear preference for non-set-aside procurements, with 80% of awards issued under full and open competition. However, she actively supports small business participation, consistently allocating 20% of her contract portfolio to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to promote economic opportunity while maintaining competitive rigor, though no other socioeconomic categories such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB are currently dominant in her portfolio. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 518210 for computing infrastructure and data processing services, and NAICS 722310 for food service contracting, each representing 40% of her activity. An additional 20% supports NAICS 561730 for landscaping and grounds maintenance. This specialization underscores her expertise in managing mission-enabling services that require operational continuity, regulatory compliance, and high standards of service delivery.
