Liz Hammond

Elizabeth Hammond serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from requirements definition through contract award and administration. She plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and promoting efficient, transparent procurement practices. Her portfolio primarily encompasses professional services contracts, with a strong emphasis on information technology and accounting-related support functions. Hammond works closely with program stakeholders to translate mission needs into solicitation requirements, ensuring alignment with federal procurement standards and best practices. While specific contractor names are not available, her contracting patterns indicate a consistent engagement with firms specializing in custom software development, systems design, and accounting services. She cultivates partnerships with both large and small vendors capable of delivering technical and administrative support, favoring vendors with demonstrated expertise in compliance, data security, and agile delivery methodologies. Her approach emphasizes performance-based contracting and clear statement of work development to ensure accountability and measurable outcomes. Hammond exhibits a clear preference for open competition, with 88.9% of her acquisitions conducted without set-asides. However, she actively supports small business participation, with 11.1% of awards designated as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a balanced commitment to maximizing competition while ensuring opportunities for small businesses to contribute to mission-critical services, though she does not currently prioritize specific socioeconomic categories such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541219 (Other Accounting Services) and 541511 (Custom Computer Programming Services), followed by 541512 (Computer Systems Design Services) and 541611 (Management Consulting). She regularly acquires technical services including software development, financial systems integration, process optimization, and advisory services, demonstrating expertise in procuring complex, knowledge-based solutions that support operational efficiency and digital transformation across federal programs.
