Amanda Fritsche

Amanda Fritsche serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of procurement actions, from market research and solicitation development to contract award and administration. She plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations while advancing mission-critical supply chain objectives. Her acquisitions primarily involve industrial products and specialty manufacturing goods, with a focus on procuring paints, coatings, adhesives, and cleaning tools through competitive and set-aside mechanisms. Fritsche’s work supports operational readiness across federal programs requiring durable, high-performance materials, and she routinely collaborates with technical stakeholders to define performance-based requirements and evaluate vendor proposals. While specific contractor names are not publicly available, Fritsche maintains a consistent pattern of engagement with manufacturers and distributors specializing in chemical and industrial goods. Her contracting approach emphasizes competitive bidding under FAR Part 15, with a preference for sealed bidding when technical specifications are well-defined. She cultivates relationships with both large-capacity producers and small businesses capable of meeting stringent quality and delivery standards, fostering a reliable vendor ecosystem for mission-essential supplies. Fritsche demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with approximately one-third of her awards structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. Her contracting patterns reflect a deliberate effort to expand opportunities for small manufacturers, though the majority of her portfolio remains open to all competitors. She does not appear to prioritize other socioeconomic categories such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB, instead focusing on broad small business eligibility under the total small business set-aside framework. Her procurement expertise is heavily concentrated in NAICS 325510 (Paint and Coating Manufacturing), which accounts for over 80% of her activity, followed by NAICS 325520 (Adhesive Manufacturing). She specializes in procuring industrial-grade chemical formulations and application-ready products used in infrastructure maintenance, equipment protection, and institutional cleaning. Her technical domain knowledge includes material specifications, VOC compliance, and performance testing standards, positioning her as a subject matter expert in industrial chemical procurement.
