Virginia A DeSeau

Virginia A. DeSeau serves as a Contracting Officer responsible for managing the acquisition of professional, scientific, and technical services in support of federal mission objectives. She exercises full contracting authority under the Federal Acquisition Regulation, overseeing the full lifecycle of solicitations, source selection, contract award, and performance monitoring. Her portfolio centers on complex, knowledge-based services requiring specialized expertise, particularly in technology-driven and research-oriented domains. DeSeau plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with statutory procurement requirements while promoting efficiency, transparency, and value in the acquisition process. While specific contractor names are not available, DeSeau maintains a broad network of vendors specializing in professional services, including firms providing systems design, technical consulting, and research support. Her contracting patterns reflect engagement with both large prime contractors and small business subcontractors, fostering competitive bidding environments and performance-based outcomes. She prioritizes clear statement of work development, rigorous evaluation criteria, and post-award oversight to ensure deliverables align with agency needs. DeSeau’s set-aside preferences demonstrate a strong orientation toward open competition, with 91.9% of her acquisitions conducted without set-aside restrictions. Nevertheless, she actively supports small business participation, with approximately 8.1% of her awards directed toward socioeconomic programs, including Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5 and 8(a) competed contracts. This balanced approach ensures market competition while fulfilling statutory obligations to promote economic opportunity for small and disadvantaged businesses. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541990 (All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services), with significant activity in computer systems design (541512), social science research (541720), and technical consulting (541690). She routinely acquires services related to data analysis, software development, policy research, and systems integration, demonstrating deep familiarity with the technical and operational demands of modern federal service delivery.
