Erin Holland

Erin G. Holland serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from requirements validation through contract award and administration. She plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) while supporting mission-critical procurement needs within her organization. Her portfolio primarily consists of commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) goods and apparel-related supplies, with a focus on efficient, transparent contracting processes that align with agency objectives and statutory requirements. She routinely handles simplified acquisitions and competitive sealed bidding under FAR Part 13, as well as negotiated procurements under Part 15, ensuring fair and open competition. Erin cultivates relationships with a diverse range of vendors, particularly those specializing in textile manufacturing, sporting goods distribution, and digital content services. While no single contractor dominates her award profile, she consistently engages with both large commercial suppliers and small businesses capable of meeting precise technical and delivery specifications. Her approach emphasizes performance-based contracting, clear statement of work development, and rigorous source selection criteria to ensure value and accountability. Her procurement patterns reflect a strong commitment to small business participation, with 26.5% of her acquisitions designated as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. This demonstrates a deliberate strategy to expand economic opportunity for small businesses, particularly those certified under general small business programs. She prioritizes socioeconomic inclusion without relying on specialized set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB, indicating a preference for broad-based small business engagement across eligible categories. Erin’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 315210 (Cut and Sew Apparel Contractors) and 423910 (Sporting and Recreational Goods Merchant Wholesalers), each accounting for 40% of her activity. She also regularly procures products under NAICS 314999 (Miscellaneous Textile Product Mills) and 511210 (Software Publishers). Her expertise centers on acquiring durable, standardized goods for operational use, requiring deep familiarity with quality standards, supply chain logistics, and commercial item determination under FAR 2.101.
