Amy W. Franklin

Amy W. Franklin serves as a procurement professional responsible for managing complex service acquisitions aligned with federal contracting standards. She plays a critical role in executing the agency’s acquisition strategy by overseeing the solicitation, evaluation, and award of contracts for professional, technical, and security services. Her work ensures compliance with FAR regulations while advancing mission-critical capabilities through efficient and equitable sourcing practices. Franklin typically handles high-value, non-manufacturing procurements requiring technical expertise, including systems design, consulting services, and protective operations. Her contractor relationships are characterized by a balanced engagement with both large-capacity service providers and certified small businesses. She routinely collaborates with firms specializing in computer systems design and professional technical services, fostering partnerships with vendors capable of delivering scalable, secure, and innovative solutions. While she maintains relationships with established contractors in the IT and professional services sectors, her procurement approach prioritizes competitive fairness and performance-based outcomes, encouraging responsive and qualified vendors to participate in the acquisition process. Franklin demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with over half of her awards designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. She actively utilizes 8(a) competed contracts to promote economic opportunity for disadvantaged businesses, reflecting a deliberate strategy to expand small business participation. Her contracting patterns consistently align with federal goals to enhance diversity in the supplier base, ensuring that small, disadvantaged, and emerging firms have meaningful access to federal opportunities. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541512 (Computer Systems Design Services), where she sources IT infrastructure, software integration, and cybersecurity support solutions. She also regularly procures services under NAICS 541990 for specialized technical consulting and NAICS 561612 for security guard and patrol services. This blend of technical and protective service requirements underscores her expertise in managing acquisitions across both digital and physical operational domains, supporting mission resilience through diversified, compliant, and performance-driven contracting.
