R Harris

Ms. R. Harris serves as a Contract Administrator at Headquarters, U.S. Military Training Mission (USMTM), under the Department of the Air Force, where she plays a pivotal role in executing mission-critical acquisition actions that sustain international security cooperation. She manages the full lifecycle of contracts supporting operational readiness, including logistical, medical, and food service requirements essential to foreign military training programs. Her acquisitions ensure the seamless delivery of personnel support services in secure, overseas environments, aligning with USMTM’s mandate to build partner nation capacity through integrated, mission-driven contracting. She routinely handles task orders and indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contracts under simplified acquisition procedures and FAR Part 12 commercial item authorities. Ms. Harris maintains a consistent working relationship with US21 INC, the primary contractor supporting USMTM’s food service and hospitality operations. Her procurement approach emphasizes performance-based service contracts with clear statement of work requirements, fostering long-term vendor partnerships grounded in quality assurance, compliance with DoD standards, and operational flexibility. She collaborates closely with contractors to ensure adherence to force protection protocols and host-nation agreements, prioritizing reliability and continuity of service in austere environments. Ms. Harris’s contracting portfolio reflects a 100% no set-aside orientation, indicating a preference for full and open competition without socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs. This pattern suggests a mission-driven focus on operational necessity and service continuity over socioeconomic targeting, with acquisitions structured to maximize vendor capability and readiness rather than diversity objectives. Her procurement activity is exclusively focused on NAICS 722310, Food Service Contractors, indicating deep specialization in managed dining, galley operations, and catering services for military personnel and foreign partners. She procures comprehensive food service solutions including meal preparation, nutrition compliance, sanitation, and logistical support tailored to overseas garrison and training site requirements, demonstrating technical expertise in DoD food service standards and force sustainment doctrine.
