Cory Hervey

Cory Hervey serves as a key procurement professional within the Department of Commerce, supporting the agency’s mission to advance scientific innovation through the acquisition of high-precision instrumentation, analytical systems, and mission-critical technical services. Responsible for managing complex contracting actions, Hervey focuses on securing advanced laboratory equipment, environmental sensing technologies, and data acquisition systems essential for national research and industrial standards development. Their work directly enables the Department’s scientific infrastructure by ensuring timely delivery of technically sophisticated solutions aligned with federal acquisition regulations and technical performance requirements. Hervey maintains consistent relationships with major defense and technology contractors including REED Technology and Information Services LLC, Earth Resources Technology, LLC, General Dynamics Information Technology, Inc., Lockheed Martin Corporation, and Peraton Inc. These partnerships reflect a preference for established vendors with proven capabilities in engineering services, data analytics, and mission-critical system integration. The contracting patterns indicate a reliance on firms with deep domain expertise in scientific instrumentation, remote sensing, and technical support services, often through indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) and multiple-award contract vehicles. A strong commitment to small business participation is evident in Hervey’s contracting patterns, with 75% of awards structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to foster innovation and capacity building among small firms, prioritizing socioeconomic programs that enhance diversity in the supplier base while maintaining technical rigor. The consistent use of small business set-asides underscores a dedication to equitable access and workforce development within the federal contracting ecosystem. Hervey’s procurement portfolio is concentrated in four primary NAICS categories: Software Publishers (513210), Educational Support Services (611710), Security Guards and Patrol Services (561612), and Motion Picture and Video Production (512110). These reflect a broadened scope that includes data management platforms, training and workforce development services, physical security for sensitive facilities, and multimedia documentation of scientific operations—demonstrating a multidisciplinary approach to supporting the Department’s diverse technical and operational needs.
