Denise Freeman

Denise Freeman serves as a Contracting Officer responsible for managing complex procurement actions involving electronic components and motor vehicle systems. Her role centers on ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations while delivering mission-critical technical solutions through competitive, transparent processes. She typically handles sole-source, sealed bid, and negotiated procurements for high-precision electrical and electronic equipment, with a strong emphasis on technical specifications, performance-based requirements, and lifecycle support. Her work directly supports the acquisition of components integral to defense, transportation, and industrial systems, requiring deep familiarity with engineering standards and supply chain reliability. While specific contractor names are not available, Denise maintains a broad network of manufacturers and suppliers specializing in electronic component fabrication and automotive electronics. Her contracting approach favors established vendors with proven technical capabilities and robust quality control systems, often engaging firms capable of meeting stringent MIL-SPEC or SAE standards. She fosters collaborative relationships with suppliers who demonstrate agility in prototyping, rapid iteration, and compliance with export control and cybersecurity requirements, ensuring uninterrupted delivery of mission-critical parts. Denise’s procurement portfolio reflects a strong preference for open competition, with 98.8% of her awards issued without set-aside restrictions. Only 1.2% are allocated as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, indicating a deliberate focus on technical merit and capability over socioeconomic preferences. While she does not routinely prioritize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs, her occasional use of small business set-asides demonstrates a measured commitment to expanding vendor diversity where technical requirements align with small business capacity. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 334419 (Other Electronic Component Manufacturing), encompassing printed circuit boards, sensors, and passive components, followed by NAICS 336320 (Motor Vehicle Electrical and Electronic Equipment Manufacturing), which includes wiring harnesses, control modules, and power distribution systems. She also regularly procures miscellaneous electrical equipment under NAICS 335999 and current-carrying wiring devices under 335931. Denise possesses specialized expertise in sourcing components for high-reliability applications, requiring deep knowledge of material specifications, environmental testing, and supply chain traceability.
