Andrea Graves

Andrea Graves operates within a procurement environment characterized by a strong commitment to small business participation and a technical focus on specialized systems and software. The agency demonstrates a significant preference for small business engagement, with a majority of acquisitions designated as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. Additional procurement patterns include the use of 8(a) Sole Source awards and Partial Small Business Set-Asides, indicating a strategic approach to diversifying the vendor base and meeting socioeconomic contracting goals. The office's procurement activity is heavily concentrated in technical domains, specifically within Other Computer Related Services and Software Publishers. There is also a notable focus on the manufacturing of search, detection, navigation, guidance, aeronautical, and nautical systems, as well as other measuring and controlling device manufacturing and industrial machinery. This suggests a specialized requirement for high-tech instrumentation and software integration services.
