Vickie Grant

Vickie Grant 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. She plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and advancing the agency’s mission through transparent, efficient, and equitable contracting practices. Her portfolio primarily includes complex service-based and specialized equipment procurements, often involving technical specifications for scientific, logistical, and operational support functions. Grant’s work ensures that acquisitions align with strategic objectives while maintaining rigorous oversight and accountability. While specific contractor names are not available, Grant consistently engages with a diverse pool of vendors, particularly those certified under socioeconomic programs. Her contracting patterns reflect a strong preference for small business participation, with over 77% of her awards structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This demonstrates a deliberate strategy to foster competition among small businesses, including those certified as 8(a), HUBZone, or Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSBs), reinforcing equitable access to federal opportunities. Grant’s procurement focus is concentrated in five key NAICS categories, with the highest activity in Other Measuring and Controlling Device Manufacturing (334519), reflecting her expertise in procuring precision instrumentation and control systems. She also regularly acquires Nonscheduled Chartered Freight Air Transportation (481212) and Surveying and Mapping Services (541370), indicating a technical proficiency in geospatial and logistics support. Additional activity in Soil Preparation and All Other Support Services (115112 and 561990) underscores her ability to manage diverse operational needs across environmental, agricultural, and general support domains. Her work bridges technical, logistical, and administrative procurement challenges with precision and regulatory rigor.
