Janet Herman

Janet Herman serves as a procurement professional responsible for managing complex information technology and services acquisitions within a federal agency focused on public health and digital infrastructure. She plays a critical role in executing the agency’s mission by overseeing the acquisition of computing services, data processing solutions, and management consulting support. Her portfolio centers on ensuring secure, scalable, and efficient technology environments that enable mission-critical operations, with a strong emphasis on compliance with federal acquisition regulations and performance-based contracting principles. She routinely handles both full and open competitions and set-aside procurements, balancing operational needs with socioeconomic objectives. Her contractor relationships are primarily with firms specializing in IT infrastructure, data center operations, and systems integration services. While no single vendor dominates her award history, she consistently engages with a diverse pool of service providers, including large systems integrators and niche IT consultants. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for performance-based outcomes and long-term service agreements rather than one-time hardware purchases, fostering collaborative, results-oriented vendor partnerships grounded in clear statement of work definitions and measurable deliverables. Janet demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with approximately 11.1% of her acquisitions designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. While the majority of her contracts are full and open, she actively promotes small business eligibility and ensures compliance with socioeconomic goals, regularly considering qualified small businesses for opportunities that align with their capabilities. Her approach reflects a balanced strategy that prioritizes competition while advancing federal small business policy objectives. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS codes related to computing infrastructure, data processing, and facilities management, with significant activity in public health program administration and management consulting services. She specializes in acquiring cloud-enabled services, IT support systems, and operational consulting that enhance agency efficiency and data-driven decision-making, reflecting deep technical familiarity with modern federal IT environments and public sector service delivery models.
