Glacia A Holbert

Glacia A. Holbert 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) while advancing mission-critical procurement objectives. Her portfolio primarily centers on technical and scientific procurements, with a strong emphasis on analytical laboratory instrumentation and specialized consulting services. Holbert navigates complex sourcing strategies to secure high-precision equipment and expert technical support, ensuring agencies receive reliable, compliant, and performance-driven solutions. While specific contractor names are not disclosed in available records, Holbert maintains a consistent pattern of engagement with vendors capable of delivering specialized scientific and technical products. Her working relationships are characterized by a preference for firms with demonstrated expertise in manufacturing precision instruments and providing niche scientific consulting, often requiring rigorous technical evaluation and performance-based contracting approaches. She fosters collaborative vendor partnerships grounded in transparency, compliance, and measurable outcomes. Holbert exhibits a clear preference for open competition, with 66.7% of her acquisitions conducted as non-set-aside procurements. However, she actively supports small business participation, allocating one-third of her awards as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. This balanced approach reflects a strategic commitment to maximizing competition while ensuring opportunities for qualified small businesses to contribute to mission outcomes, without prioritizing other socioeconomic categories such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB. Her procurement focus is concentrated in two key NAICS categories: 334516 (Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing) and 541690 (Other Scientific and Technical Consulting Services). She regularly acquires advanced laboratory equipment, calibration systems, and specialized technical advisory services requiring domain-specific knowledge in chemistry, environmental science, or biomedical research. Her expertise lies in evaluating technical specifications, ensuring regulatory compliance, and aligning procurement actions with scientific and operational needs.
