Vicki May

Vicki M. May serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of complex procurement actions, from solicitation through contract award and administration. She plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations while advancing mission-critical procurement objectives. Her portfolio centers on industrial manufacturing and precision instrumentation, where she executes competitive acquisitions under FAR Part 15, often utilizing sealed bidding and negotiated procedures to secure high-precision components essential to defense and industrial systems. Her work supports the acquisition of specialized equipment requiring technical rigor and supply chain reliability. While specific contractor names are not available, her contracting patterns reflect consistent engagement with manufacturers of precision mechanical and electronic components, particularly those capable of meeting stringent military and industrial specifications. She cultivates relationships with vendors possessing robust quality management systems, including ISO 9001 certification and AS9100 compliance, ensuring adherence to technical and delivery requirements. Her approach emphasizes vendor performance accountability and post-award oversight to maintain contract integrity. Vicki’s set-aside preferences reveal a strong orientation toward open competition, with 88.2% of awards issued without socioeconomic set-asides. Nevertheless, she actively supports small business participation, with notable allocations to Total Small Business Set-Asides (8.2%) and Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (2.6%). Her contracting behavior demonstrates a balanced commitment to socioeconomic goals, aligning with federal priorities while maintaining competitive integrity and value for the government. Her primary technical focus lies in NAICS 332991 (Ball and Roller Bearing Manufacturing), accounting for nearly three-quarters of her acquisitions, followed by precision measuring and control devices under NAICS 334519 and 334514. She specializes in procuring high-tolerance mechanical components, fluid metering systems, and industrial process instrumentation—products requiring advanced materials science and engineering validation. Her expertise spans the technical domains of mechanical engineering, metrology, and industrial automation, making her a key liaison between acquisition teams and technical stakeholders.
