Chloe Harris

Chloe Harris serves as a key procurement lead within the Headquarters Defense Media Activity (HQ DMA), responsible for managing acquisitions that support the agency’s mission to produce, distribute, and broadcast multimedia content to U.S. military personnel, families, and global audiences. She oversees the acquisition of technology-enabled media solutions, digital infrastructure, and integrated communications platforms critical to sustaining troop morale and advancing strategic messaging. Her portfolio centers on IT services that enable secure content delivery, broadcast modernization, and cloud-based media management systems, aligning closely with HQ DMA’s priorities in digital transformation and cybersecurity resilience. While specific contractor names are not publicly disclosed, Harris maintains a dynamic contracting environment characterized by engagement with a diverse pool of vendors specializing in multimedia systems, software development, and digital operations. She fosters partnerships with both large defense contractors and agile technology firms capable of delivering rapid, scalable media solutions under tight operational timelines. Her procurement approach emphasizes performance-based contracting, agile methodologies, and compliance with DoD cybersecurity standards such as NIST SP 800-53 and CMMC. Harris demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with approximately half of her acquisitions set aside for small businesses under FAR 19.5, reflecting a balanced strategy between open competition and targeted small business participation. While no specific set-aside categories like 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB are predominant, her consistent use of total small business set-asides signals a deliberate effort to expand vendor diversity and promote innovation from non-traditional defense suppliers. Her primary procurement focus is exclusively under NAICS 541519 (Other Computer Related Services), indicating deep specialization in custom software development, systems integration, digital content management, and IT support services for multimedia environments. She routinely procures solutions involving content delivery networks, streaming platforms, data analytics for audience engagement, and secure media storage systems—domain expertise that supports HQ DMA’s evolving digital media ecosystem.
