Renee Dougherty

Renee Dougherty serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from requirements definition through contract award and administration. She plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with FAR regulations and advancing agency mission objectives through strategic sourcing of professional and technical services. Her portfolio primarily includes information technology, computer services, and workforce development contracts, with a focus on delivering mission-critical support through competitively awarded, performance-based agreements. Dougherty works closely with program managers and technical evaluators to align procurement strategy with operational needs, emphasizing transparency, fairness, and regulatory integrity. While specific contractor names are not available, her procurement patterns reflect consistent engagement with a diverse pool of vendors, including both large systems integrators and small business concerns specializing in IT services. She fosters collaborative vendor relationships grounded in clear solicitation language, rigorous evaluation criteria, and post-award performance monitoring. Her approach prioritizes vendor responsiveness, technical capability, and past performance, encouraging competition while maintaining accountability across contract performance metrics. Dougherty demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with 40% of her awards structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, reflecting a deliberate focus on expanding opportunities for small businesses. She rarely utilizes other set-aside categories such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB, indicating a preference for broad-based small business participation rather than targeted socioeconomic programs. This pattern underscores her alignment with agency goals to promote competitive small business engagement across a wide range of service providers. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS codes related to computer services, including Custom Computer Programming Services (541511), Computer Facilities Management (541513), and Other Computer-Related Services (541519), alongside Professional and Management Development Training (611430) and general repair and maintenance services (811219). She specializes in acquiring software development, IT infrastructure support, and workforce training solutions, demonstrating deep expertise in the IT services and human capital development domains.
