Katie Garry

Katie Garry serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from requirement validation and market research through solicitation, evaluation, award, and contract administration. She plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and supports the agency’s mission by delivering timely, cost-effective solutions across technical and professional service domains. Her portfolio primarily includes procurements for information technology services, research and development initiatives, and specialized construction support, with a strong emphasis on competitive, transparent processes that align with statutory procurement objectives. While specific contractor names are not available, Katie consistently engages with a diverse pool of vendors, including both large prime contractors and small businesses, fostering competitive bidding environments that promote innovation and value. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for open competition, with the majority of awards issued under general solicitation rather than set-aside mechanisms. She maintains collaborative relationships with industry partners through pre-solicitation outreach and market engagement, ensuring that requirements are clearly defined and achievable within the federal acquisition framework. Katie demonstrates a moderate but intentional commitment to small business participation, with approximately 16.7% of her awards structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. Though the majority of her contracts are unrestricted, she actively considers small business capabilities during market analysis and encourages participation through simplified acquisition procedures and clear evaluation criteria. Her approach reflects a balanced adherence to socioeconomic goals without compromising competition or mission needs. Her primary procurement focus centers on NAICS 519190 (Other Information Services), reflecting a strong demand for data management, digital content, and information technology support services. She also regularly procures computer storage devices (NAICS 334112), research and development in physical and engineering sciences (NAICS 541715), and specialty trade contracting services (NAICS 238990), indicating expertise in both technical and infrastructure-related acquisitions across public-sector operational needs.
