Jared Ayers

Jared Ayers serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of professional services acquisitions, ensuring compliance with federal procurement regulations and alignment with agency mission objectives. He executes competitive solicitations, evaluates proposals, negotiates contract terms, and administers awarded contracts with a focus on efficiency, transparency, and risk mitigation. His work supports the agency’s broader procurement mission by delivering high-quality technical services through structured, compliant contracting processes. Ayers typically handles complex, non-construction professional services requiring specialized expertise, often involving performance-based contracting and statement of work development under FAR Part 12 and Part 37. While no specific contractor relationships are identifiable due to limited award data, Ayers engages with a broad spectrum of vendors offering professional, scientific, and technical services. His contracting patterns suggest a preference for open competition among qualified firms, with no exclusive reliance on any single vendor. He maintains collaborative relationships with industry partners through clear solicitation requirements, timely communication, and consistent contract administration practices, fostering a reliable and responsive vendor ecosystem. Ayers demonstrates a strong preference for open, non-set-aside acquisitions, with 100% of his awarded contracts issued under unrestricted competition. This reflects a strategic emphasis on maximizing competition and value through broad market engagement rather than socioeconomic set-asides. While he does not routinely utilize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs, his approach ensures fair and equitable access for all eligible vendors, maintaining compliance with federal procurement integrity standards. His primary procurement focus is on NAICS 541990—All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services—encompassing a wide array of specialized support functions such as consulting, analytical services, technical advisory, and research assistance. He procures services requiring subject-matter expertise in areas like policy analysis, program evaluation, data science, and operational support, often demanding high levels of technical proficiency and adaptability. Ayers’ expertise lies in structuring requirements that attract qualified providers capable of delivering mission-critical professional services under performance-based frameworks.
