Ericka Collins

Ericka Collins serves as a key procurement lead within the 0410 AQ HQ Contract Office under the Department of the Army, responsible for managing mission-enabling acquisitions that sustain operational readiness across Army installations and deployed forces. Her work centers on securing logistical, hospitality, security, and administrative support services critical to personnel welfare and mission continuity. She routinely handles complex service-based contracts under FAR Part 12 and Part 37, with a focus on ensuring seamless communications, facility operations, and force support infrastructure through responsive and compliant acquisition strategies. Collins maintains consistent contracting relationships with a core group of established vendors including BOOZ ALLEN HAMILTON INC, BARBARICUM LLC, QUIET PROFESSIONALS, LLC, SOS INTERNATIONAL LLC, and SECOND-61 LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for firms with proven expertise in defense logistics, operational support, and mission-critical systems integration. Her contracting patterns indicate a reliance on experienced contractors capable of delivering high-assurance services under dynamic operational conditions, often requiring rapid mobilization and compliance with stringent DoD security protocols. While the majority of her acquisitions—87.5%—are conducted without set-asides, she demonstrates a deliberate and sustained commitment to small business participation, with 12.5% of awards structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a balanced approach that prioritizes mission effectiveness while ensuring meaningful opportunities for small businesses to contribute to critical defense support functions. Her procurement focus is heavily concentrated in NAICS 334510 (electromedical and electrotherapeutic apparatus manufacturing) and 541611 (administrative management consulting), indicating deep expertise in acquiring specialized medical support equipment and high-level operational planning services. Additional emphasis on NAICS codes related to electronics retail, wholesale, and repair underscores her role in procuring consumer-grade technology for institutional use, blending commercial-off-the-shelf solutions with military-grade adaptability to meet field requirements.
