Amelia Pernich

Amelia Pernich serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from requirement validation and solicitation development to contract award and administration. She plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with federal procurement regulations, including the FAR and agency-specific policies, while advancing mission-critical technology objectives. Her portfolio is exclusively focused on professional services, particularly in the domain of computer systems design, where she navigates complex technical requirements and ensures alignment with evolving federal IT standards. She works closely with program managers, technical evaluators, and legal advisors to structure solicitations that promote competition, transparency, and value. Amelia cultivates collaborative relationships with a broad spectrum of vendors, primarily engaging firms specializing in systems architecture, software development, and IT infrastructure design. While no single contractor dominates her award profile, she consistently interacts with mid-to-large-tier IT services providers and niche consulting firms capable of delivering custom solutions in cloud-enabled environments, cybersecurity integration, and enterprise software modernization. Her procurement approach emphasizes performance-based contracting and clear statement of work development to ensure accountability and measurable outcomes. Amelia’s contracting patterns reflect a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of her awards issued under the “No Set-Aside” category. This indicates a strategic focus on maximizing competition among all eligible vendors rather than reserving opportunities for socioeconomic categories. While she does not prioritize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, her process remains fully compliant with all small business outreach and reporting requirements, ensuring equitable access to opportunities within the broader competitive field. Her primary procurement focus is on NAICS 541512—Computer Systems Design Services—where she specializes in procuring end-to-end IT solutions including system integration, custom application development, data migration, and infrastructure modernization. She has deep expertise in evaluating technical proposals for scalability, interoperability, and compliance with federal cybersecurity frameworks such as NIST SP 800-53, positioning her as a key liaison between technical requirements and contractual execution in the federal IT landscape.
