Aminta Freeman serves as a Contract Specialist within the Office of Acquisition and Grants at the Social Security Administration, where she plays a pivotal role in executing procurements that support the agency’s mission to secure and modernize the operational infrastructure underpinning benefit delivery. She manages the full lifecycle of acquisitions—ranging from requirements development and market research to contract award and administration—with a primary focus on software development, systems integration, and cybersecurity services.

Her procurement approach emphasizes performance-based contracting and risk mitigation, fostering long-term vendor partnerships that deliver mission-critical solutions across SSA’s national footprint. She engages contractors through competitive sealed bidding and negotiated procurements, prioritizing technical capability, past performance, and compliance with federal acquisition regulations. While the majority of her acquisitions—88.5%—are conducted without set-asides, Freeman actively supports small business participation, with 9.6% of awards designated as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5 and an additional 1.9% awarded through 8(a) competed contracts. Her socioeconomic contracting patterns demonstrate a measured but intentional commitment to expanding opportunities for small and disadvantaged businesses without compromising mission outcomes. Her procurement focus is heavily concentrated in NAICS 511210 (Software Publishers), accounting for over 60% of her portfolio, underscoring deep expertise in custom software development and enterprise application integration. She also regularly procures services under NAICS 238210 for facility-related electrical systems and NAICS 518210 for cloud infrastructure and data hosting, reflecting a technical domain spanning IT modernization, cybersecurity, and mission-critical facility support.
