Van Holley

Van V. Holley serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from requirements definition and market research through solicitation, evaluation, award, and contract administration. Within the agency’s procurement mission, Holley ensures compliance with federal regulations under the FAR and promotes efficient, transparent contracting practices. Their portfolio primarily encompasses technical and scientific services, with a strong emphasis on laboratory and medical instrumentation, as well as professional consulting services supporting operational readiness and analytical capabilities. Holley’s work directly supports mission-critical procurement needs by aligning contracting strategies with agency objectives and regulatory mandates. Holley cultivates collaborative relationships with a diverse base of vendors, including small businesses, specialized manufacturers, and professional service providers. While no single contractor dominates their portfolio, their contracting patterns reflect consistent engagement with firms capable of delivering precision-engineered instruments and technical support services. Holley prioritizes clear communication, fair competition, and performance-based contract management, fostering trust and accountability across vendor partnerships. Their approach emphasizes responsiveness to evolving technical requirements and timely resolution of contractual issues. A strong advocate for small business participation, Holley consistently structures solicitations to maximize opportunities under the Small Business Set-Aside program, with over 55% of their awards designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate and sustained commitment to socioeconomic contracting goals, ensuring equitable access for small businesses across the federal marketplace. Their pattern of awarding nearly half of contracts without set-asides also indicates a balanced approach, selecting the most capable offerors while maintaining robust small business inclusion. Holley’s procurement focus centers on NAICS codes related to analytical and medical instrument manufacturing, particularly 334516 and 339112, indicating deep expertise in procuring precision laboratory equipment and surgical devices. Additional emphasis on 541990 and 541611 underscores their involvement in professional scientific services and management consulting, often supporting R&D, calibration, and operational efficiency initiatives. This technical domain expertise enables Holley to effectively evaluate complex proposals and ensure acquisition outcomes meet stringent performance and compliance standards.
