Serena Y. Pitt

Serena Y. Pitt serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from requirement validation and market research to contract award and administration. She plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and supports her agency’s mission by delivering timely, cost-effective solutions through competitive and compliant procurement processes. Her portfolio primarily encompasses information technology services and related hardware procurement, with a focus on complex, performance-based contracts that require technical diligence and vendor accountability. While specific contractor names are not available, her contracting patterns reflect consistent engagement with a diverse pool of vendors, including both large prime contractors and small businesses capable of delivering specialized IT and software services. She fosters collaborative relationships with vendors who demonstrate technical proficiency, past performance, and adherence to socioeconomic requirements, often leveraging indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) and multiple-award contract vehicles to streamline acquisition efficiency. Serena demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with over 21% of her awards directed toward set-aside programs, including Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5 and 8(a) competed contracts. Her procurement strategy prioritizes socioeconomic goals without compromising competition, consistently balancing small business outreach with open competition for the majority of requirements—79% of which are awarded without set-aside status. Her primary procurement focus centers on NAICS 541519 (Other Computer Related Services), reflecting deep expertise in IT consulting, systems integration, and cloud-enabled solutions. She also regularly procures software development and distribution services under NAICS 511210 and computer equipment wholesaling under 423430, indicating a technical understanding of both service delivery and supply chain logistics. Her work supports mission-critical technology modernization initiatives across digital infrastructure and data systems.
