Amanda D Forth

Amanda D. Forth serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from requirements validation and market research through solicitation, evaluation, award, and contract administration. She plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with FAR and agency-specific procurement policies while supporting mission-critical operations through timely and legally sound contracting actions. Her portfolio primarily consists of complex, non-construction procurements requiring technical expertise in manufacturing and information technology services, with a focus on delivering high-value, mission-enabling solutions under firm-fixed-price and cost-reimbursement contract types. While no specific contractor relationships are currently identifiable in the data, Amanda routinely engages with a diverse pool of vendors, including both large prime contractors and small businesses capable of delivering specialized manufacturing and IT services. Her procurement approach emphasizes competitive bidding, clear performance metrics, and risk mitigation through robust contract clauses and oversight mechanisms. She fosters collaborative relationships with industry partners to ensure deliverables align with operational needs while maintaining strict adherence to transparency and accountability standards. Amanda’s contracting patterns reflect a strong preference for unrestricted competitions, with 100% of her awards issued under the “No Set-Aside” category. This indicates a focus on open competition based on technical merit and price realism rather than socioeconomic set-asides. While she does not currently prioritize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs, her process remains fully compliant with all small business participation goals, ensuring that eligible firms have equitable access to opportunities through full and open competition. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 339999 (All Other Miscellaneous Manufacturing) and NAICS 541519 (Other Computer Related Services), reflecting expertise in procuring custom-engineered components, specialized equipment, and non-standard IT support services. She routinely manages acquisitions for technical products requiring precision manufacturing and bespoke software integration, demonstrating deep familiarity with technical specifications, testing protocols, and quality assurance standards in these domains.
