Susan V Crizer

Susan V. Crizer serves as a procurement professional responsible for managing complex service-based acquisitions across professional, scientific, and technical domains. She plays a critical role in executing the agency’s acquisition strategy by ensuring compliance with federal contracting regulations while aligning procurements with mission-critical operational needs. Her portfolio primarily encompasses non-defense services, including consulting, data infrastructure, and social science research, reflecting a focus on knowledge-based solutions that support strategic decision-making and institutional capacity building. Crizer routinely oversees the full lifecycle of contract actions—from market research and solicitation development to award and performance monitoring—ensuring transparency, competition, and regulatory adherence. While no specific contractor relationships are identifiable in the current dataset, Crizer’s procurement patterns suggest consistent engagement with a diverse pool of service providers, including small businesses and specialized technical firms. Her contracting approach emphasizes competitive solicitation under general services categories, fostering an environment where vendors with niche expertise in professional consulting and digital infrastructure can compete on merit. The absence of dominant contractor relationships indicates a deliberate strategy to avoid concentration and promote broad market participation. Crizer demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with over 23% of her awards designated as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. Her contracting profile reflects a preference for open competition among small businesses rather than targeted socioeconomic programs like 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB, suggesting a focus on capability-based selection within the small business community. This pattern supports broader agency goals of economic inclusion and vendor diversity without reliance on specific certification pathways. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541990 (All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services), with significant activity in data processing (518210), social science research (541720), and technical consulting (541690). She consistently acquires services related to policy analysis, systems integration, and operational support, indicating deep expertise in managing high-complexity, low-tangible-output engagements requiring rigorous performance metrics and subject-matter expertise.
