Kristina Mercer

Kristina Mercer serves as a Contracting Officer responsible for managing a diverse portfolio of service-based acquisitions aligned with federal procurement regulations and socioeconomic objectives. She plays a critical role in executing competitive solicitation processes, ensuring compliance with FAR provisions, and fostering transparent, efficient contracting practices. Her acquisitions primarily involve facility maintenance, building services, and logistical support, with a strong emphasis on performance-based contracting and clear statement of work development. Mercer ensures that all procurements adhere to sound acquisition planning, risk mitigation, and fair and open competition principles. While specific contractor names are not available, Mercer maintains consistent engagement with a broad base of small and mid-sized service providers, particularly those capable of delivering specialized building maintenance, moving, towing, and facility support services. Her procurement patterns reflect a preference for established vendors with proven operational capacity, often resulting in repeat engagements with firms demonstrating reliability, regulatory compliance, and quality performance. She actively cultivates vendor relationships through pre-solicitation outreach and industry days to enhance market awareness and encourage participation. Mercer demonstrates a balanced commitment to small business participation, with nearly equal allocation between total small business set-asides and non-set-aside procurements, alongside a notable emphasis on Women-Owned Small Businesses (WOSB). Her contracting approach reflects a deliberate effort to meet federal socioeconomic goals under FAR Part 19, particularly through the use of total small business set-asides and WOSB programs, while maintaining competition where appropriate. This pattern underscores her dedication to expanding economic opportunity for underserved business communities. Her primary NAICS focus includes Plumbing, Heating, and Air-Conditioning Contractors; Flooring Contractors; Used Household and Office Goods Moving; Motor Vehicle Towing; and Other Services to Buildings and Dwellings. These categories reflect her expertise in procuring essential facility support and maintenance services, requiring deep familiarity with performance standards, labor compliance, and service-level expectations in the built environment.
