Denise Farris serves as a Contract Specialist at the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (HDTRA1), where she plays a pivotal role in executing complex acquisitions that support the agency’s mission to counter weapons of mass destruction and emerging national security threats. She manages the full lifecycle of contracts for technical services, including research and development, systems design, and operational support, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and aligning procurements with DTRA’s strategic priorities in chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, and high-yield explosive defense. Her work directly enables the deployment of advanced detection, deterrence, and neutralization capabilities through scientifically rigorous and operationally viable solutions. Farris maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors including TECHTRANS INTERNATIONAL INC, BATTELLE MEMORIAL INSTITUTE, AERIS LLC, APPLIED RESEARCH ASSOCIATES, INC., and AMAZON WEB SERVICES, INC. These partnerships reflect a preference for established technical service providers with deep expertise in defense science, cybersecurity, and systems engineering. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, risk mitigation, and long-term vendor collaboration, often resulting in multiple-award task order contracts that support sustained innovation and rapid response to evolving threats. Her procurement portfolio is predominantly non-set-aside, with 90% of awards issued under full and open competition, reflecting the specialized nature of DTRA’s mission requirements. However, she actively supports small business participation, with approximately 10% of awards designated as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a balanced commitment to both mission necessity and socioeconomic objectives. Farris specializes in procurements governed by NAICS codes 611710 (Educational Support Services), 541715 (Research and Development in Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences), and 541512 (Computer Systems Design Services), with additional focus on custom programming and engineering services. Her acquisitions frequently involve advanced analytics, threat modeling platforms, secure cloud infrastructure, and scientific support services critical to national defense readiness.
