Felicia (SSGT) R Rivers

Felicia (SSGT) R. Rivers serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of complex procurement actions, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and promoting efficient, transparent contracting practices. She specializes in technical acquisitions involving precision measurement, industrial control systems, and electronic instrumentation, supporting mission-critical operations through timely and legally sound contract awards. Her role is central to translating operational requirements into enforceable contractual obligations, bridging technical needs with acquisition policy to deliver high-integrity solutions across specialized domains. While specific contractor names are not available, her procurement patterns indicate consistent engagement with manufacturers and service providers in the instrumentation and industrial control sectors. She cultivates partnerships with both large-capacity vendors and small businesses capable of delivering high-precision devices and maintenance services, emphasizing technical capability, quality assurance, and regulatory compliance over volume-based sourcing. Her working relationships reflect a preference for vendors with proven expertise in calibration, signal processing, and industrial automation systems. Felicia demonstrates a strong orientation toward open competition, with 91.4% of her acquisitions conducted without set-asides, reflecting a focus on technical merit and market readiness. However, she actively supports socioeconomic goals, allocating 5.7% of awards to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5 and 2.9% to HUBZone contractors, indicating a deliberate, albeit measured, commitment to expanding opportunities for disadvantaged small businesses without compromising mission requirements. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 334515 and 334513, encompassing the manufacture of electrical measuring instruments and industrial process control devices, alongside NAICS 511210 for software and data solutions supporting instrumentation, and NAICS 811310 for maintenance of commercial and industrial equipment. This technical specialization underscores her expertise in procuring advanced sensing, monitoring, and control systems critical to defense, energy, and infrastructure applications.
