Amber Harris

Amber Harris serves as a procurement professional responsible for managing complex service acquisitions across professional, scientific, and technical domains. She plays a critical role in advancing the agency’s mission by ensuring timely, compliant, and performance-based contract awards that deliver high-value outcomes. Her portfolio primarily consists of non-construction services requiring specialized expertise, including consulting, analytical support, and operational infrastructure services. Harris is deeply engaged in the full acquisition lifecycle—from market research and solicitation development to contract award and performance monitoring—ensuring alignment with federal acquisition regulations and strategic sourcing objectives. Her contractor relationships are characterized by a broad, non-exclusive engagement with professional services firms capable of delivering high-skill labor and technical solutions. While no single vendor dominates her award profile, she consistently partners with firms possessing deep domain knowledge in scientific research, data analytics, and facilities operations. Her approach emphasizes competitive bidding, clear performance metrics, and contractor accountability, fostering a marketplace of qualified providers rather than reliance on a small set of incumbents. Amber Harris maintains a strong preference for open, unrestricted competition, with 100% of her acquisitions issued as non-set-aside. This reflects a strategic focus on maximizing market participation and selecting the most qualified offerors regardless of socioeconomic status. While she does not prioritize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, her procurement practices remain fully compliant with all socioeconomic requirements and support voluntary small business participation where it aligns with technical needs. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541990 (All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services), where she acquires specialized consulting, research, and technical advisory services. She also regularly procures facilities support services under NAICS 561210, including cleaning, maintenance, and logistical operations. Her expertise spans technical domains requiring analytical rigor, regulatory compliance, and operational scalability, making her a key player in securing mission-critical professional services across diverse federal functions.
