Stephenie Charlot

Stephenie Charlot serves as a Contract Specialist at Washington Headquarters Services, supporting the Department of Defense’s mission to modernize institutional management systems and deliver enterprise-wide administrative and technical services. In this role, she manages the full lifecycle of procurement actions—from market research and solicitation development to contract award and administration—ensuring compliance with FAR and DoD-specific acquisition regulations. Her portfolio primarily encompasses professional services, IT-enabled solutions, and facility support contracts critical to sustaining DoD operational readiness and digital transformation initiatives. Charlot maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of contractors including Clarity Innovations LLC, Cynergy Professional Systems LLC, Signature Renovations LLC, AMD International Technologies LLC, and Guidehouse Inc. These partnerships reflect a preference for established service providers with demonstrated expertise in systems modernization, consulting, and facility maintenance. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, clear statement of work development, and rigorous vendor evaluation to ensure mission alignment and accountability. Her procurement patterns demonstrate a balanced commitment to small business participation, with over one-third of her awards directed toward small business set-asides, including Total Small Business, Women-Owned Small Business, and 8(a) competed contracts. While the majority of her actions are unrestricted, she actively leverages socioeconomic programs to foster competition and expand the DoD’s supplier base among certified small disadvantaged and woman-owned firms. Charlot’s primary NAICS focus areas include Independent Artists, Writers, and Performers (711510), reflecting a strong demand for creative and communications services, alongside Computer Systems Design Services (541512), indicating a strategic emphasis on digital infrastructure and IT consulting. She also procures niche services such as moving and logistics (484210) and automotive repair (811111), underscoring the diverse operational support needs of WHS. Her expertise lies in aligning specialized professional services with institutional requirements across a complex defense enterprise.
