Phyllis Lewis

Phyllis Lewis serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from requirement development and market research to contract award and administration. She plays a pivotal role in ensuring compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and supports the agency’s mission by delivering mission-critical services through transparent, competitive procurement processes. Her portfolio primarily encompasses information technology and professional services contracts, with a focus on custom software development, systems design, and administrative consulting solutions. She works closely with program managers and technical stakeholders to align contracting strategies with operational needs while maintaining rigorous standards for fairness and accountability. Phyllis collaborates with a diverse range of vendors, including large IT service providers and small businesses specializing in software engineering and data infrastructure. While no single contractor dominates her award profile, her procurement patterns reflect a balanced approach that prioritizes competition and vendor capability over sole-source reliance. She maintains consistent engagement with firms capable of delivering secure, scalable technology solutions and regularly engages in pre-solicitation outreach to foster market awareness and ensure responsive bidding. Her set-aside preferences demonstrate a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting goals, with nearly one-third of her acquisitions reserved for small businesses under FAR 19.5, and a notable 6.7% allocated to 8(a) competed contracts. Although the majority of her awards are unrestricted, her consistent use of small business set-asides reflects a deliberate strategy to expand opportunities for disadvantaged and emerging vendors in the federal marketplace. Phyllis specializes in NAICS codes related to custom computer programming (541511), computer systems design (541512), and computing infrastructure services (518210), indicating deep expertise in software development, IT modernization, and cloud-enabled services. She also frequently procures management consulting services (541611) and data processing solutions (511210), underscoring her focus on integrated technology and operational support services that enhance government efficiency and digital transformation.
