Harriet V Roberts

Harriett V. Roberts serves as a Purchasing Agent responsible for managing the acquisition of critical support services across federal operations. In this role, she ensures compliance with federal procurement regulations while advancing mission-critical objectives through strategic sourcing and competitive bidding processes. Her acquisitions primarily involve facilities support, commercial and industrial machinery maintenance, and security systems services, requiring a nuanced understanding of performance-based contracting and service-level agreements. She plays a pivotal role in aligning procurement activities with agency operational needs, ensuring timely delivery of non-medical, non-defense support functions through transparent and equitable contracting practices. While specific contractor names are not available, Roberts consistently engages with a diverse pool of vendors, including small businesses, service providers, and specialty contractors qualified under relevant NAICS codes. Her procurement patterns reflect a preference for competitive, open solicitations that encourage broad market participation, fostering relationships with both established service providers and emerging small business entrants. She maintains a structured approach to vendor evaluation, emphasizing past performance, technical capability, and compliance with federal standards. Roberts demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with approximately half of her awards directed toward 8(a) competed set-asides, reflecting a deliberate focus on empowering disadvantaged small businesses. The remaining half are awarded under no set-aside authorities, indicating a balanced strategy that supports both small business goals and broader market competition. Her contracting patterns align with federal priorities to increase participation from certified small disadvantaged businesses while maintaining fiscal responsibility and regulatory compliance. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 561210 (Facilities Support Services), 811310 (Commercial and Industrial Machinery Repair and Maintenance), and 561621 (Security Systems Services), each representing approximately one-third of her portfolio. She specializes in procuring janitorial, custodial, preventive maintenance, and electronic security system services—domains requiring technical specificity and performance-based outcomes. Her expertise enables effective management of complex service contracts involving multi-site operations and stringent compliance requirements.
