Rachelle Vaughan

Rachelle Vaughan serves as a Contract Officer responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from requirements definition and market research through solicitation, award, and contract administration. She plays a pivotal role in ensuring compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) while advancing mission-critical procurement objectives. Her portfolio primarily encompasses professional services and specialized manufacturing contracts, with a focus on delivering high-integrity, competitively awarded solutions that meet operational needs without compromising fiscal responsibility or regulatory adherence. While specific contractor names are not available, Vaughan maintains a broad network of vendors across diverse industrial sectors, fostering competitive bidding environments that emphasize technical capability, past performance, and regulatory compliance. Her contracting approach prioritizes open competition and transparency, with a consistent emphasis on evaluating proposals based on evaluated price and non-price factors such as technical merit and small business subcontracting plans. Vaughan’s set-aside preferences reflect a strong orientation toward full and open competition, with 92.9% of her awards issued without set-aside restrictions. However, she demonstrates meaningful support for small business participation, with 7.1% of her awards designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This balanced approach ensures market access for small businesses while maintaining operational efficiency and broad vendor engagement. Her primary procurement focus centers on five key NAICS categories: Human Resources Consulting Services (541612), Printing Ink Manufacturing (325910), Industrial Supplies Merchant Wholesalers (423840), Commercial Screen Printing (323113), and Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing (334516). These reflect a technical domain expertise in workforce development support, specialized industrial materials, and precision instrumentation, indicating a procurement profile grounded in both administrative services and niche manufacturing capabilities.
