Amanda Vance

Amanda Vance serves as a primary procurement lead within the GSA/FAS Office of Acquisition Operations, where she plays a pivotal role in executing strategic acquisitions that support the federal government’s travel and transportation infrastructure. Her responsibilities encompass the full lifecycle management of contracts for critical mobility services, including vehicle procurement, maintenance, and specialized transportation solutions. She ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while advancing the agency’s mission to deliver secure, efficient, and cost-effective support for federal travel ecosystems. Her acquisitions primarily involve transportation equipment, maintenance services, and logistics support essential to operational readiness across federal agencies. Vance cultivates collaborative relationships with a diverse base of vendors, particularly those specializing in automotive manufacturing and maintenance services. She engages regularly with both large-tier manufacturers and niche service providers to ensure competitive, compliant, and resilient supply chains. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, robust oversight, and vendor accountability, fostering long-term partnerships grounded in reliability and regulatory adherence. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, her work consistently draws from a broad network of qualified suppliers capable of meeting federal standards for safety, durability, and sustainability. A strong advocate for socioeconomic inclusion, Vance prioritizes small business participation, with over half of her acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. She actively leverages small business programs to expand access for disadvantaged entrepreneurs, aligning with GSA’s broader equity goals. Her contracting patterns reflect a deliberate emphasis on empowering small businesses across multiple categories, ensuring broad market engagement and fostering innovation through diverse vendor participation. Her technical focus centers on NAICS 336211 and 336120, reflecting deep expertise in motor vehicle body and heavy-duty truck manufacturing, alongside significant activity in automotive repair and maintenance (811198). She procures specialized vehicles, fleet support systems, and maintenance contracts critical to federal mobility operations, demonstrating advanced knowledge of federal vehicle standards, lifecycle management, and performance-based service agreements.
