Stacey Crawford

Stacey Crawford 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 the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and agency procurement policies, with a focus on technical services and specialized manufacturing solutions. Her portfolio primarily supports research, engineering, and advanced technology initiatives, often involving complex, performance-based requirements that demand precise statement of work development and risk mitigation strategies. While no specific contractor relationships are currently identifiable in the dataset, Crawford routinely engages with a diverse pool of vendors, including both large primes and small businesses, particularly those with expertise in scientific R&D and aerospace systems. Her contracting approach emphasizes competitive bidding, clear performance metrics, and post-award oversight to ensure deliverables align with mission-critical objectives. She fosters collaborative relationships with industry partners to promote innovation and accountability throughout the acquisition process. Crawford’s procurement patterns reflect a strong preference for open competition, with 88.9% of her awards issued without set-asides. However, she consistently supports small business participation, allocating 11.1% of her contracts as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. This demonstrates a balanced commitment to maximizing competition while ensuring meaningful opportunities for small businesses to contribute to federal missions, though she does not currently prioritize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB-specific set-asides. Her primary technical focus lies in NAICS 541712 (Research and Development in the Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences), where she procures advanced scientific services, data analytics, and engineering support. She also regularly acquires specialized aerospace components under NAICS 336413 and IT services under NAICS 541519, indicating deep expertise in defense-related R&D, avionics systems, and computer-based technical solutions.
