Audra Harrison

Audra Harrison serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from requirements validation and market research to contract award and administration. She plays a pivotal role in ensuring compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and supports the agency’s mission by delivering timely, cost-effective solutions through transparent and competitive procurement processes. Her portfolio primarily encompasses construction and professional services, with a focus on commercial and institutional building projects, architectural design, and environmental consulting. Harrison ensures that all acquisitions align with statutory mandates and agency priorities, fostering accountability and efficiency in the procurement lifecycle. While specific contractor names are not available, Harrison maintains a broad network of vendors across the construction and professional services sectors, engaging both large prime contractors and small business subcontractors. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for open competition, with the majority of awards issued under unrestricted solicitations. She actively promotes fair and open access to opportunities, encouraging participation from qualified firms with proven technical capabilities in building construction and design services. Harrison demonstrates a measurable commitment to socioeconomic programs, with 20% of her acquisitions designated for small business set-asides. Of these, 15% are awarded under Total Small Business Set-Aside authorities (FAR 19.5), and 5% are reserved for Women-Owned Small Businesses. She does not currently utilize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, but consistently prioritizes small business participation within the bounds of available statutory authority and market conditions. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), which accounts for 70% of her activity, followed by NAICS 541310 (Architectural Services) and NAICS 541620 (Environmental Consulting Services). She routinely procures design-build services, construction management, and environmental impact assessments, demonstrating deep technical familiarity with building codes, sustainability standards, and construction contract types such as fixed-price and cost-reimbursement arrangements.
