Neddra Tucker

Neddra Tucker supports the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s mission by managing critical procurement activities that enable rapid disaster response and recovery operations. Though her official title is not listed, her procurement patterns indicate a central role in acquiring essential goods and services that sustain emergency operations, including temporary sheltering infrastructure, security personnel, logistical support, and operational supplies. She facilitates acquisitions aligned with FEMA’s strategic priorities in resilience, medical supply chain continuity, and infrastructure restoration, ensuring timely delivery of mission-critical resources during national emergencies. Tucker maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors including FED SERVE LLC, EDGE TECHNOLOGY DISTRIBUTORS, INC., WS ACQUISITION LLC, VIDOVATION CORPORATION, and SAMSTAR LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for vendors capable of delivering scalable, on-demand solutions—from security and patrol services to equipment leasing and office supply logistics—often under time-sensitive conditions. Her contracting approach emphasizes reliability, rapid mobilization, and compliance with federal emergency procurement flexibilities, fostering long-term vendor collaboration to meet dynamic operational demands. A strong commitment to small business participation defines her procurement strategy, with over 82% of her awards designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate focus on empowering small businesses across diverse socioeconomic categories, with only minimal use of 8(a) competed contracts and negligible non-set-aside awards. Her pattern underscores FEMA’s statutory mandate to promote equitable access to federal contracting opportunities for small and disadvantaged firms. Her primary procurement focus centers on NAICS codes 532490 (equipment leasing for emergency operations), 561612 (security and patrol services), 562991 (septic and waste services for temporary shelters), and 424120 (stationery and office supplies wholesale). These categories reveal expertise in procuring non-medical, high-volume, mission-enabling goods and services essential to sustaining field operations, demonstrating deep familiarity with the logistical and operational demands of disaster response environments.
