Rhonda Duncan

Rhonda Duncan serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from requirements validation and market research through solicitation, evaluation, award, and contract administration. She plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with federal procurement regulations while aligning acquisitions with agency mission objectives. Her portfolio is narrowly focused on professional services within the information technology domain, particularly those requiring technical expertise in systems design, integration, and operational support. She routinely handles complex, performance-based contracts under FAR Part 12 and Part 36, emphasizing outcome-driven deliverables and risk mitigation through robust contract clauses and performance metrics. Rhonda maintains a broad network of qualified vendors specializing in computer systems design services, engaging with both large prime contractors and small business subcontractors to ensure competitive, innovative solutions. While no single contractor dominates her award history, she consistently fosters collaborative relationships with firms capable of delivering scalable, secure, and interoperable IT architectures. Her procurement approach prioritizes transparency, fair competition, and vendor responsiveness, encouraging proposals that demonstrate technical excellence and sound project management practices. Rhonda’s contracting patterns reflect a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of her acquisitions conducted without set-aside designations. This indicates a focus on selecting the most qualified offeror regardless of socioeconomic status, rather than targeting specific categories such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs. Her approach underscores a commitment to merit-based selection while maintaining full compliance with all applicable socioeconomic statutes. Her primary technical domain centers on NAICS 541512 — Computer Systems Design Services — encompassing custom software development, systems integration, cloud architecture, cybersecurity infrastructure, and enterprise IT modernization. She procures services that support mission-critical systems requiring high levels of technical rigor, compliance with NIST standards, and adherence to federal IT modernization initiatives. Her expertise lies in translating complex operational needs into clearly defined, measurable, and contractually enforceable technical requirements.
