Umetria T. Dickson

Umetria T. Dickson serves as a Contracting Officer responsible for managing complex acquisition programs across critical federal service domains. In this role, she ensures compliance with federal procurement regulations while delivering mission-critical capabilities through competitive, transparent contracting processes. Her portfolio primarily encompasses facilities support services, nonscheduled air transportation, and guided missile and space vehicle manufacturing, requiring deep technical understanding and strategic sourcing expertise. She oversees the full lifecycle of acquisitions—from market research and solicitation development to contract award and administration—ensuring alignment with agency objectives and regulatory frameworks. While no specific contractor relationships are identifiable in current data, Ms. Dickson engages with a diverse pool of vendors, including prime contractors and subcontractors capable of delivering specialized technical services and high-integrity systems. Her procurement approach emphasizes competitive bidding, clear performance metrics, and rigorous contract management to ensure accountability and operational readiness. She fosters collaborative relationships with industry partners who demonstrate technical proficiency, past performance, and adherence to federal compliance standards. Ms. Dickson’s contracting patterns reflect a strong preference for full and open competition, with 100% of her acquisitions designated as “No Set-Aside.” This indicates a focus on selecting the most qualified offerors based on technical merit and value, rather than socioeconomic categorizations. While she does not prioritize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, her processes remain fully compliant with all applicable small business statutes, and she may still consider small businesses as subcontractors or teaming partners within open competitions. Her primary NAICS focus areas include Facilities Support Services (561210), where she procures maintenance, logistics, and facility operations; Other Nonscheduled Air Transportation (481219), involving charter and specialized flight services; and Guided Missile and Space Vehicle Manufacturing (336414), requiring advanced engineering and defense-grade supply chain management. Her expertise lies in navigating high-stakes, technically complex procurements within national security and infrastructure support domains.
