About Derrick Andrews

Currently, I perform financial administration support for the Executive Office of Education (of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts). My work consists of management, development, contracting, and invoicing of the $60+ million in procurements and $100+ million in grants for the Department. I facilitate the relationships between various vendors and our offices’ internal teams. This role has helped develop my organizational, time management, and interpersonal skills. I really enjoy supporting the Commonwealth’s prestigious educational establishments in this position.My previous role in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts with the Operational Services Division (Procurement Division) helped me develop strong interpersonal, analytical, and leadership skills. I trained and interacted with many procurement users daily as the Management Analyst II. I was often commended for my initiative on projects, persuasiveness, intensive customer focus, and dependability. I had also become the lead trainer in our unit for training new employees.I have a unique perspective on best value procurement practices given my experience with Commonwealth of Massachusetts and its strict procurement regulations. Contracts are developed using a best value method determined by several factors including price negotiation, contract terms, and supplier diversity metrics. Our unit at the Executive Office of Education was the only Diamond Level awarded agency by the Supplier Diversity Office. This requires an agency to exceed every diverse supplier metric offered by the state for 5+ consecutive years. I was also chosen to be a presenter at the Commonwealth’s MASSBUYS 2021 conference for an audience of over 250+ to speak about best practices while conducting state procurement. This involvement has strengthened my contract management, supplier diversity, and presentation skills.
