LaTieya Palmer

LaTieya N. Palmer serves as a Contracting Officer at the GSA/FAS Region 7 Acquisition Center, where she plays a pivotal role in executing mission-critical procurements that sustain federal operational readiness across institutional and industrial environments. Her portfolio centers on the acquisition of durable, high-volume manufactured goods essential to daily government functions, including kitchenware, small electrical appliances, metal containers, and signage. Leveraging GSA’s streamlined acquisition authorities, she ensures timely delivery of standardized, federally compliant products that support facility operations, logistics, and administrative continuity. Her work directly advances the agency’s mission to secure reliable, cost-effective supplies through efficient, transparent contracting pathways. Palmer maintains consistent, long-term relationships with key contractors including MACGYVER SOLUTIONS, INC., FEDERAL SUPPLY SERVICES INTERNATIONAL LLC., B.W. WILSON PAPER COMPANY, INCORPORATED, and COMSIS SOLUTIONS LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for established vendors with proven capacity to deliver standardized industrial and institutional goods under blanket purchase agreements and governmentwide acquisition contracts. Her contracting approach emphasizes vendor reliability, compliance with federal specifications, and seamless fulfillment across distributed federal sites. Her procurement strategy reflects a strong orientation toward open competition, with 100% of her awards issued without socioeconomic set-asides. This indicates a deliberate focus on maximizing competition among qualified vendors rather than targeting specific categories such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB firms. While small business participation is not formally prioritized in her award patterns, she adheres strictly to fair and open competition principles under FAR Part 12 and 13 procedures. Palmer’s primary technical focus lies in NAICS 332215 (metal kitchenware and cutlery), 335210 (small electrical appliances), 332439 (metal containers), and 339950 (sign manufacturing). She specializes in procuring standardized, mass-produced goods that meet federal performance and safety standards, demonstrating deep familiarity with commercial item acquisition, product specifications, and industrial supply chain logistics. Her expertise ensures the consistent availability of mission-critical consumables and equipment for federal facilities nationwide.
