Tandra Jones

Tandra A. Jones serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from requirements definition and market research to contract award and administration. She plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) while advancing agency mission objectives through strategic sourcing and risk-mitigated contracting solutions. Her portfolio primarily encompasses service-based procurements across facilities support, security systems, construction-related services, and specialized manufacturing, reflecting a balanced approach to both commercial and technical acquisitions. While specific contractor names are not available, Jones maintains a consistent pattern of engaging with diverse vendor communities, including small businesses, general contractors, and niche service providers. Her contracting approach emphasizes competitive solicitation, clear performance metrics, and post-award oversight to ensure contractor accountability and deliverable quality. She fosters collaborative relationships with vendors who demonstrate capacity, past performance, and alignment with socioeconomic goals. Jones exhibits a strong commitment to small business participation, with over one-third of her awards designated as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. She also actively utilizes 8(a) competed contracts, demonstrating a deliberate effort to expand opportunities for disadvantaged businesses. The predominance of no set-aside awards reflects her use of full and open competition where appropriate, but her consistent use of socioeconomic tools underscores a balanced, mission-driven approach to inclusive contracting. Her procurement focus centers on NAICS codes related to real estate appraisal services, electrical contracting, security systems, facilities support, and pressed glass manufacturing. This combination highlights expertise in both professional services and specialized industrial procurement, requiring nuanced understanding of technical specifications, labor classifications, and performance-based outcomes. Jones brings specialized knowledge in managing complex service contracts that demand rigorous oversight and compliance with industry-specific standards.
