Andrew Price-Gibson

Andrew Price-Gibson serves as a Contract Specialist within the Incident Support Section (ISS70) of the Federal Emergency Management Agency, where he plays a critical role in enabling rapid response and recovery operations during domestic emergencies. He manages the full lifecycle of procurement actions for mission-critical goods and services that sustain infrastructure and survivor support in austere environments. His acquisitions primarily involve commercial off-the-shelf supplies and essential field services required to maintain operational continuity during disaster response, ensuring timely delivery of life-sustaining resources under urgent timelines. He operates within the FAR framework, emphasizing agility, compliance, and mission alignment in all contracting actions. While specific contractor names are not available, Price-Gibson maintains consistent partnerships with a diverse pool of vendors, particularly those certified under socioeconomic programs. His procurement patterns reflect a deliberate emphasis on small business engagement, with frequent collaboration with 8(a) participants, HUBZone firms, and other small business concerns capable of delivering rapid, scalable solutions under emergency conditions. He fosters long-term vendor relationships built on reliability, responsiveness, and regulatory compliance, ensuring a resilient supply base capable of operating in high-stress, resource-constrained environments. Price-Gibson demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with 50% of his awards designated for 8(a) competed set-asides and an additional 50% allocated under total small business set-asides per FAR 19.5. This balanced approach ensures broad participation from disadvantaged and small businesses while maintaining competitive rigor. His contracting strategy actively promotes economic inclusion and capacity building among underserved vendors, reinforcing FEMA’s mandate to strengthen community resilience through inclusive procurement. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 424120 (Stationery and Office Supplies Merchant Wholesalers) and NAICS 562991 (Septic Tank and Related Services), reflecting the need for both administrative essentials and sanitation infrastructure in disaster-affected areas. He specializes in sourcing hygiene, waste management, and logistical supplies critical to public health and operational readiness during prolonged emergency operations.
