Vicki A Riddell

Vicki A. Riddell serves as a Senior Supervisor overseeing federal procurement activities centered on scientific and technical research and development. In this leadership capacity, she guides the planning, solicitation, and award of complex contracts aligned with national priorities in physical, engineering, and life sciences. Her role ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while fostering innovation through strategic sourcing. She typically manages high-value, performance-based acquisitions for advanced research services, including laboratory testing, computational modeling, and engineering analysis, often involving multi-year task orders and indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) vehicles. While no specific contractor relationships are currently identifiable in the data, her procurement patterns suggest collaboration with a broad spectrum of technical service providers, including research institutions, private R&D firms, and specialized engineering consultants. Her oversight emphasizes merit-based selection, technical excellence, and contract performance metrics, fostering long-term partnerships with vendors capable of delivering high-complexity scientific solutions under stringent compliance standards. Ms. Riddell’s contracting portfolio is entirely non-set-aside, reflecting a focus on technical capability over socioeconomic categorization. This indicates a procurement strategy prioritizing domain expertise and mission-critical outcomes, with no preference for 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or other small business designations. Her approach underscores a commitment to acquiring the most qualified providers regardless of size or certification status, consistent with mission needs in highly specialized technical fields. Her primary NAICS focus is 541712—Research and Development in the Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences (except Biotechnology)—demonstrating deep expertise in procuring advanced scientific services such as materials characterization, environmental modeling, sensor development, and applied physics research. She routinely engages contractors with proven capabilities in experimental design, data analytics, and technical validation, ensuring federal investments yield actionable scientific insights and technological innovation.
