Stephanie B. Bailey serves as a Contracting Officer responsible for managing complex acquisition initiatives across infrastructure and technical services. She plays a pivotal role in executing federal procurement strategies that align with statutory requirements and agency mission objectives, focusing on competitively awarded contracts under the Federal Acquisition Regulation. Her portfolio primarily encompasses construction, engineering support, and applied research services, ensuring timely delivery of critical public infrastructure and technical solutions through full and open competition and targeted set-asides. While specific contractor names are not available, her procurement patterns indicate consistent engagement with firms capable of delivering large-scale civil works and utility infrastructure, as well as specialized technical research services. She cultivates relationships with contractors possessing proven capabilities in construction management, electrical systems installation, and physical sciences R&D, emphasizing performance-based contracting and sound risk mitigation practices. Her approach fosters accountability and compliance through rigorous source selection and contract administration. Stephanie demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with approximately 22.2% of her acquisitions designated as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. Though the majority of her awards remain open to all competitors, her consistent use of small business set-asides reflects a deliberate effort to expand market access for qualified small businesses, particularly those capable of supporting construction and engineering services. Her socioeconomic contracting strategy prioritizes inclusivity without compromising technical requirements or delivery timelines. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 237310 (Highway, Street, and Bridge Construction), where she oversees the full lifecycle of civil infrastructure projects. She also regularly procures services under NAICS 237130 (Power and Communication Line Construction), 541715 (Physical and Engineering Sciences R&D), and 423610 (Electrical Equipment Wholesaling). This technical specialization underscores her expertise in managing procurements requiring adherence to DOT, FRA, and utility industry standards, making her a key steward of public infrastructure resilience and innovation.
