Annie Harlow

Annie Harlow serves as a key procurement professional within Acquisitions - Aqm Momentum (19AQMM), a critical component of the Department of State responsible for securing mission-critical infrastructure and technical services to support U.S. diplomatic operations worldwide. She manages the acquisition lifecycle for high-priority contracts involving facility construction, IT modernization, and security systems essential to the safety and operational continuity of overseas missions. Her work directly enables the agency’s strategic imperative to maintain resilient, secure, and technologically advanced diplomatic environments through compliant, efficient contracting practices aligned with FAR and DFARS requirements. While specific contractor names are not publicly disclosed, Harlow maintains a broad network of qualified vendors across construction, IT services, and medical support sectors, fostering competitive, performance-based partnerships that prioritize quality, security, and timely delivery. She engages with both large primes and small business subcontractors to ensure robust supply chain resilience and mission adaptability in high-risk operational theaters. Her contracting approach emphasizes rigorous source selection, risk mitigation, and post-award oversight to meet stringent diplomatic security standards. Harlow’s procurement portfolio reflects a strong emphasis on small business participation, with 15.4% of awards designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. Though the majority of contracts remain open competition, her consistent use of small business set-asides demonstrates a deliberate commitment to socioeconomic contracting goals, supporting qualified small businesses in construction, technology, and medical supply sectors without reliance on specialized set-aside programs like 8(a) or HUBZone. Her primary procurement focus centers on NAICS 236220 (commercial and institutional building construction), 541512 (computer systems design services), and 622110 (general medical and surgical hospitals), reflecting the agency’s need for secure facility upgrades, secure IT infrastructure, and on-site medical support at diplomatic posts. She specializes in procuring integrated solutions that merge physical security, digital resilience, and health service readiness—ensuring U.S. personnel have the operational environment necessary to fulfill foreign policy objectives.
