Stacy A Conaway

Stacy Conaway serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from requirement development 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 supports the agency’s mission by delivering timely, cost-effective solutions across professional and technical service categories. Her acquisitions typically involve complex, performance-based contracts for IT-enabled services, management consulting, and specialized technical support, often requiring cross-functional coordination with program offices and legal counsel to align procurement strategy with operational needs. While specific contractor names are not available, Stacy consistently engages with a diverse pool of vendors, including small businesses, mid-tier service providers, and large systems integrators, fostering competitive environments that promote innovation and value. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for open competition, yet she actively facilitates participation from socioeconomically disadvantaged firms through targeted set-asides and clear solicitation language that encourages responsiveness from eligible small businesses. Stacy demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with approximately 20% of her awards designated as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, and additional support for HUBZone and 8(a) programs. Her set-aside strategy reflects a balanced approach—71.4% of her acquisitions are conducted without set-asides, indicating a preference for full and open competition, while still ensuring meaningful opportunities for certified small businesses through targeted socioeconomic tools. Her primary procurement focus centers on NAICS 541519 (Other Computer Related Services) and 541990 (All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services), with significant activity in administrative management consulting and computer systems design. She routinely procures IT modernization support, systems integration, data analytics services, and technical advisory work, demonstrating expertise in the professional services domain and a deep understanding of evolving technology requirements within the federal marketplace.
