Em'Ria J. Briscoe

Emria C. Briscoe serves as a procurement professional responsible for managing complex information technology and professional services acquisitions within a federal agency. Focused on delivering mission-critical solutions, Briscoe oversees the full lifecycle of contract actions—from requirements definition and market research to award and performance monitoring—ensuring alignment with federal acquisition regulations and strategic agency objectives. Their work primarily supports digital modernization, systems integration, and operational efficiency initiatives, with a strong emphasis on leveraging commercial innovation to meet evolving technical demands. Briscoe cultivates collaborative relationships with a diverse range of contractors, particularly those specializing in custom software development, systems design, and management consulting services. While no single vendor dominates their portfolio, they consistently engage both large systems integrators and agile small businesses capable of delivering tailored, results-driven solutions. Their contracting approach emphasizes competition, performance-based outcomes, and vendor accountability, fostering a procurement environment that prioritizes quality, innovation, and compliance. A significant portion of Briscoe’s acquisitions—nearly 83%—are conducted without set-aside restrictions, reflecting a strategic focus on open competition to ensure access to the broadest possible talent pool. However, they maintain a deliberate and consistent commitment to small business participation, with approximately 17% of awards reserved under the Total Small Business Set-Aside authority (FAR 19.5), demonstrating a balanced approach between market openness and socioeconomic goals. Their procurement focus centers on NAICS 541519 (Other Computer Related Services), 541511 (Custom Computer Programming Services), 541611 (Management Consulting), and 541512 (Computer Systems Design Services), indicating deep expertise in software development, IT infrastructure modernization, and operational consulting. Briscoe routinely procures cloud-enabled solutions, data analytics platforms, process automation tools, and technical advisory services, positioning them at the intersection of technology and public sector management.
