Amanda N. Rogers

Amanda Rogers serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from requirements development through contract award and administration. She plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and supports her agency’s mission by executing timely, transparent, and cost-effective procurements. Her portfolio primarily encompasses services and supplies across security operations, information technology, and wholesale distribution sectors. She routinely handles both competitive and non-competitive solicitations, including solicitation drafting, source selection, contract negotiation, and post-award management, ensuring alignment with statutory and regulatory requirements. While specific contractor names are not available, Amanda works with a diverse range of vendors, including large service providers and small business subcontractors, to fulfill agency needs. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for open competition, with the majority of awards issued under unrestricted solicitations. She maintains professional, arms-length relationships with contractors, emphasizing fairness, accountability, and performance-based outcomes across all contract types, particularly task and delivery order contracts under indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) vehicles. Amanda’s set-aside preferences show a strong orientation toward unrestricted competition, with 90% of awards issued without socioeconomic set-asides. However, she consistently allocates 10% of her portfolio to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a measured but deliberate commitment to small business participation. Her approach reflects a balance between maximizing competition and fulfilling statutory small business goals, without reliance on 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB-specific set-asides. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 561612 (Security Guards and Patrol Services), which accounts for nearly 40% of her activity, followed by NAICS 511210 (Software Publishers), and three related wholesale merchant categories—424490, 423430, and 423610—each representing 12.5%. This reflects expertise in procuring physical security services, software solutions, and commercial-grade equipment and supplies, positioning her as a specialist in hybrid service-and-supply acquisitions across public safety and infrastructure support domains.
