Michelle Huddleston

Michelle Huddleston serves as a procurement professional responsible for managing acquisitions of information technology infrastructure and related services. She plays a critical role in advancing the agency’s mission by ensuring timely, compliant, and cost-effective procurement of computer systems, peripheral equipment, and software solutions. Her portfolio primarily encompasses commercial-off-the-shelf hardware, enterprise software licensing, and integrated systems design services, with a strong emphasis on procurement efficiency and regulatory adherence. She interfaces with vendors across the technology supply chain to deliver mission-critical capabilities while maintaining strict compliance with federal acquisition regulations. Her contractor relationships are centered on merchant wholesalers and systems design firms specializing in IT hardware and software integration. She routinely engages with established technology distributors and service providers capable of delivering scalable, interoperable solutions, often leveraging blanket purchase agreements and indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contracts to streamline acquisition cycles. Her approach emphasizes vendor reliability, technical support capacity, and adherence to cybersecurity standards, fostering long-term partnerships with firms that demonstrate consistent performance and compliance. Huddleston’s procurement activity is entirely non-set-aside, reflecting a strategic focus on open competition to ensure broad market access and optimal value. While she does not prioritize socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs, her process remains fully compliant with all small business participation goals, and she actively considers qualified small businesses through unrestricted solicitations. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 423430, where she acquires computer and peripheral equipment through merchant wholesalers, and NAICS 541512, where she sources custom computer systems design services. This dual emphasis underscores her expertise in both commercial IT product distribution and bespoke technical integration, positioning her as a key player in modernizing agency technology environments through standardized, high-performance solutions.
