Penny Lyle Holley

Penny Lyle Holley serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from requirements definition and market research through solicitation, evaluation, award, and contract administration. Her role is central to ensuring compliance with federal procurement regulations while advancing mission-critical objectives within the public health and laboratory services domains. She routinely handles complex service-based contracts requiring technical expertise in analytical testing, clinical diagnostics, and public health program administration, often coordinating with cross-functional teams to align contracting strategies with agency mission priorities. While no specific contractor relationships are currently identifiable in the available data, Holley engages with a diverse pool of vendors capable of delivering high-compliance laboratory services, medical testing solutions, and public health program support. Her procurement approach emphasizes competitive bidding, transparent evaluation criteria, and adherence to FAR guidelines, fostering fair and open competition among qualified firms with demonstrated capability in regulated environments. Holley’s contracting patterns reflect a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of her acquisitions classified as “No Set-Aside.” This indicates a focus on selecting the most technically capable and cost-effective offerors regardless of socioeconomic status, though she remains fully compliant with all small business programs and may incorporate small business subcontracting goals where appropriate. Her approach prioritizes performance outcomes over socioeconomic targeting, aligning with mission needs that demand specialized technical expertise. Her primary procurement focus lies within NAICS 541380 (Testing Laboratories and Services), 621511 (Medical Laboratories), and 923120 (Administration of Public Health Programs). She specializes in acquiring analytical testing services, clinical diagnostics, public health surveillance systems, and operational support for health program delivery—domains requiring stringent regulatory adherence, quality assurance protocols, and data integrity standards. Her expertise ensures that acquisitions meet both technical and compliance benchmarks critical to public health outcomes.
