Shawntale M Saxton

Shawntale M. Saxton serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from requirement validation and market research through solicitation, evaluation, award, and contract administration. She plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with federal procurement regulations while advancing mission-critical technology objectives. Her portfolio primarily encompasses information technology services and hardware procurement, with a strong emphasis on custom software development and commercial computer equipment distribution. Saxton’s work supports the agency’s broader digital transformation goals by securing reliable, scalable, and secure IT solutions aligned with current federal standards. While specific contractor names are not available, Saxton routinely engages with a diverse pool of vendors specializing in custom computer programming and computer equipment wholesale. Her procurement approach emphasizes competitive bidding under full and open competition, with a consistent preference for non-set-aside acquisitions. She works closely with both large systems integrators and mid-tier technology providers, fostering transparent, performance-based contracting relationships grounded in clear statement of work definitions and measurable deliverables. Saxton’s contracting patterns reflect a strong alignment with full and open competition, with 100% of her awards designated as non-set-aside. This indicates a strategic focus on maximizing market competition rather than socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs. While small business participation is not formally prioritized in her award profile, her process remains compliant with all applicable small business outreach and notification requirements under the Federal Acquisition Regulation. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541511 (Custom Computer Programming Services), where she secures bespoke software solutions, application development, and systems integration services. She also frequently procures through NAICS 423430 (Computer and Computer Peripheral Equipment and Software Merchant Wholesalers), acquiring commercial-off-the-shelf hardware, software licenses, and related IT infrastructure. This dual specialization positions her as a key liaison between technical requirements and commercial market capabilities in the federal IT space.
