Vicki S. Ting

Vicki S. Ting serves as an Assistant/Acting General Services Officer (A/GSO), overseeing procurement activities focused on the manufacturing and acquisition of lawn and garden tractor equipment and related home lawn and garden machinery. In this role, she ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while executing contracts that support operational needs within her organization’s mission. Her responsibilities include managing the full lifecycle of solicitations, from market research and requirement definition to contract award and administration, with a strong emphasis on technical specifications and performance standards for durable, high-performance equipment. She is the primary point of contact for industry stakeholders seeking to engage in government procurement within her specialized domain. Vicki maintains a broad and open contractor engagement model, working with a diverse range of manufacturers and suppliers who meet federal quality and delivery standards. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, she consistently evaluates bids from both large-scale producers and niche specialists capable of meeting exacting technical requirements for outdoor power equipment. Her contracting approach prioritizes competitive bidding, transparent evaluation criteria, and timely contract performance, fostering a fair and efficient marketplace for vendors. Her procurement patterns reflect a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of her acquisitions designated as “No Set-Aside.” This indicates a focus on technical merit and value-based selection rather than socioeconomic set-asides, aligning with mission-critical needs that require specialized manufacturing capabilities not typically concentrated in small business segments. Her approach emphasizes efficiency and performance over socioeconomic targeting. Vicki’s primary technical focus is NAICS 333112—Lawn and Garden Tractor and Home Lawn and Garden Equipment Manufacturing. She procures a range of motorized equipment including ride-on mowers, utility terrain vehicles, and associated attachments, requiring deep familiarity with mechanical systems, emissions standards, and safety certifications. Her expertise lies in evaluating engineering specifications, durability testing protocols, and warranty structures to ensure long-term operational reliability.
