Amanda R. Reyes

Amanda R. Reyes 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. Her role is central to ensuring compliance with federal procurement regulations while delivering mission-critical environmental remediation services. She specializes in complex, performance-based contracts requiring technical oversight and risk mitigation, typically handling task orders and indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) instruments for environmental cleanup and hazardous waste management projects. Her work supports the agency’s mission to protect public health and environmental integrity through disciplined, transparent contracting practices. Amanda cultivates collaborative relationships with a broad spectrum of vendors specializing in environmental remediation, including engineering firms, environmental consultants, and specialized remediation contractors. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, she consistently engages firms with proven expertise in soil and groundwater remediation, asbestos abatement, and hazardous material handling. Her approach emphasizes competitive bidding, clear performance metrics, and contractor accountability, fostering a procurement environment that prioritizes technical competence and regulatory compliance over volume or convenience. Amanda’s contracting patterns reflect a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of her awards issued under non-set-aside authorities. This indicates a deliberate focus on maximizing market participation and ensuring the most qualified firms—regardless of socioeconomic designation—are selected based on technical merit and past performance. While she does not routinely utilize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, her procurement strategy remains fully compliant with small business goals and supports socioeconomic objectives through unrestricted, merit-based competition. Her primary technical focus is on NAICS 562910 (Remediation Services), where she procures specialized services including site assessment, contaminant removal, treatment system installation, and long-term monitoring. She has deep expertise in evaluating technical proposals for soil vapor extraction, bioremediation, capping systems, and other environmental engineering solutions, ensuring that contracts align with EPA standards and federal environmental mandates.
