Reaves serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from requirements definition and market research through solicitation, evaluation, award, and contract administration. Her role is central to ensuring compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and advancing the agency’s mission through transparent, efficient, and equitable procurement practices. She routinely handles complex service-based acquisitions, including professional, administrative, and technical support services, with a focus on achieving mission-critical outcomes while upholding integrity and accountability in every contracting action.

She actively cultivates relationships with vendors who demonstrate capacity, reliability, and alignment with federal standards. Reaves exhibits a strong and consistent commitment to small business participation, with 55.6% of her awards designated as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5.

Her expertise lies in structuring solicitations that attract qualified small business competitors while ensuring technical rigor and value for the government.
