Christina L. Barr

Christina L. Barr serves as a Contracting Officer responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from solicitation through contract award and administration. She plays a pivotal role in ensuring compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) while advancing mission-critical procurement objectives. Her portfolio primarily encompasses information technology services, communications equipment, and security systems, with a focus on complex, performance-based contracts that require technical evaluation and risk mitigation. She works across multiple program offices to align contracting strategies with operational needs, ensuring timely delivery of essential goods and services. While specific contractor names are not available, her procurement patterns indicate consistent engagement with a diverse range of vendors, including both large primes and small businesses, particularly in the technology and security services sectors. Her working relationships reflect a preference for competitive, transparent processes that emphasize value, innovation, and contractual performance. She fosters partnerships with firms capable of delivering integrated solutions in communications infrastructure and IT support, often leveraging indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) and other flexible contract vehicles to meet dynamic agency requirements. Christina demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with 16.7% of her awards designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. Although the majority of her acquisitions are unrestricted, she actively promotes small business inclusion through targeted outreach and simplified acquisition procedures. Her approach aligns with broader federal goals to expand economic opportunity while maintaining rigorous standards for contractor responsibility and performance. Her primary NAICS focus areas include 811219 (Electronic and Other Machinery Repair and Maintenance), 334220 (Radio and Television Broadcasting and Wireless Communications Equipment Manufacturing), and 561621 (Security Systems Services). These reflect deep expertise in procuring telecommunications hardware, cybersecurity-enabled systems, and technical support services. She routinely evaluates proposals requiring specialized knowledge in RF systems, network infrastructure, and integrated security solutions, positioning her as a subject matter expert in mission-critical technology procurement.
