Lori D. Herrera

Lori D. Herrera serves as a key procurement professional within the GSA/FAS Region 7 Acquisition Center, supporting the agency’s mission to secure durable, high-volume industrial and institutional supplies essential to federal operational readiness. She manages the acquisition of standardized manufactured goods critical to sustaining federal facilities, logistics, and administrative functions, with a focus on efficient, streamlined pathways for mission-critical consumables and equipment. Her work ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while optimizing supply chain reliability for government-wide operations. Herrera maintains consistent contracting relationships with established vendors 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 experienced suppliers capable of delivering bulk, standardized products with reliable delivery schedules and quality assurance. Her procurement approach emphasizes performance-based contracting and long-term vendor reliability over transactional engagements, fostering stable supply chains for recurring federal needs. Her contracting patterns show a strong preference for open competition, with 84.6% of awards issued without set-aside designations. The remaining 15.4% are allocated to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, indicating a measured but consistent commitment to small business participation without reliance on socioeconomic preferences such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs. This reflects a mission-driven focus on efficiency and scale over socioeconomic targeting. Herrera’s procurement portfolio is heavily concentrated in manufacturing sectors, particularly NAICS 332510 (Hardware Manufacturing), followed by 326299 (All Other Rubber Product Manufacturing) and 332999 (All Other Miscellaneous Fabricated Metal Product Manufacturing). She routinely acquires metal fixtures, industrial hardware, rubber components, and woven fabric products used in federal facility maintenance, office infrastructure, and institutional operations, demonstrating deep technical familiarity with industrial supply chains and standardized product specifications.
