Amy Larsen

Amy H. Larsen serves as a procurement professional dedicated to advancing mission-critical professional and technical services across her organization. She manages the full lifecycle of acquisitions for non-clinical, high-skill services including consulting, analytical support, research, and technical advisory services. Her role centers on ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations while aligning contract awards with strategic agency objectives. Larsen is the primary point of contact for solicitation development, source selection, and contract administration, consistently applying best practices in performance-based acquisition and requirements definition to deliver high-quality outcomes. Her contractor relationships are characterized by engagement with a broad base of professional services firms specializing in scientific, technical, and analytical domains. While no single vendor dominates her portfolio, she regularly collaborates with firms offering subject-matter expertise in policy analysis, data science, program evaluation, and operational consulting. Her procurement approach emphasizes competitive bidding, clear performance metrics, and transparent evaluation criteria, fostering a marketplace of qualified, capable vendors without reliance on sole-source or limited-source mechanisms. Larsen’s contracting patterns reflect a strong preference for full and open competition, with 100% of her awards issued under non-set-aside authorities. She does not routinely utilize 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or other socioeconomic set-asides, instead prioritizing technical merit and value-driven outcomes. This approach underscores a commitment to efficiency and broad market access, ensuring the best possible solutions are selected based on capability rather than socioeconomic designation. Her primary procurement focus is on NAICS 541990—All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services—encompassing a wide array of specialized consultative and analytical services. She routinely acquires expertise in program management, performance measurement, policy development, and technical research, supporting agency initiatives that require deep domain knowledge and independent analysis. Her technical domain expertise lies in securing high-integrity, evidence-based services to inform decision-making and operational effectiveness.
