Amber McQuerry

Amber R. McQuerry serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from requirement development through contract award and administration. She plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and promoting efficient, transparent procurement practices. Her portfolio primarily encompasses commercial goods and services related to healthcare infrastructure, medical equipment, and facility leasing, with a strong emphasis on small business participation and socioeconomic contracting objectives. She works closely with program offices to translate mission needs into solicitation requirements that balance technical specifications, cost-effectiveness, and regulatory compliance. McQuerry cultivates partnerships with a diverse range of vendors, including manufacturers of dental and surgical supplies, medical equipment wholesalers, and nonresidential property lessors. While no single contractor dominates her award profile, she consistently engages with small businesses, 8(a) participants, and Indian-owned enterprises, fostering competitive environments that support equitable access to federal contracting opportunities. Her working relationships reflect a collaborative approach, emphasizing clear communication, timely responsiveness, and adherence to fair and open competition principles. Her procurement strategy demonstrates a pronounced commitment to socioeconomic programs, with nearly 52% of her awards designated for small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, including a significant focus on Indian Small Business Economic Enterprise (ISBEE) and Buy Indian set-asides—indicative of alignment with agencies serving tribal communities. The 8(a) competed set-aside rate further underscores her dedication to expanding opportunities for disadvantaged businesses within the federal marketplace. McQuerry’s primary NAICS focus areas include lessors of nonresidential buildings, medical equipment wholesale distribution, and the manufacturing of dental and surgical supplies. This specialization reflects deep expertise in procuring mission-critical healthcare infrastructure and clinical support products. Her technical domain knowledge spans facility management, medical device standards, and supply chain logistics for healthcare delivery systems, enabling her to craft precise performance requirements and evaluate technical proposals with precision.
