Claire D. Holly

Claire D. Holly serves as an Acquisition Specialist responsible for managing complex procurement actions across specialized manufacturing sectors. Her role centers on executing full lifecycle contracting processes in compliance with FAR regulations, ensuring timely delivery of mission-critical components for federal operations. She specializes in competitive sealed bidding and negotiated acquisitions for precision-engineered goods, with a focus on technical specifications requiring stringent quality control and supply chain integrity. Her work directly supports national infrastructure and defense readiness through the acquisition of high-reliability mechanical and electro-mechanical systems. While no specific contractor relationships are currently identifiable, Claire consistently engages with a diverse pool of manufacturers capable of meeting rigorous performance and certification standards. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for established industrial suppliers with proven track records in precision manufacturing, particularly those holding AS9100, ISO 9001, or other industry-recognized quality management certifications. She fosters collaborative vendor partnerships grounded in technical transparency, performance metrics, and timely delivery assurance. Claire’s procurement strategy prioritizes open competition, with 98.6% of her acquisitions conducted without set-asides, reflecting a focus on technical capability over socioeconomic categorization. Nevertheless, she maintains a consistent, albeit minimal, commitment to small business participation, with 1.4% of awards directed toward Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a balanced approach that upholds competition while ensuring small business opportunities are considered where market conditions permit. Her primary procurement focus lies in Ball and Roller Bearing Manufacturing (NAICS 332991), where she acquires mission-critical components for aerospace, automotive, and industrial systems. She also procures specialized measuring and control devices (NAICS 334519) and select motor vehicle and aircraft parts, demonstrating deep technical familiarity with mechanical subsystems requiring high tolerances and durability. Claire’s expertise centers on the procurement of engineered components for defense, transportation, and industrial automation applications.
