Quentin A. Harris

Quentin A. Harris serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from requirements definition through contract award and administration. He plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with FAR regulations and advancing agency mission objectives through transparent, competitive procurement processes. His portfolio primarily encompasses service-based contracts, including maintenance, engineering, and laboratory testing services, with a strong emphasis on structured solicitation methods such as sealed bids and negotiated procurements under simplified acquisition procedures. While specific contractor names are not available, Harris consistently engages a diverse pool of vendors, particularly small businesses and general service providers across technical and facilities support sectors. His contracting patterns reflect a balanced approach to vendor engagement, fostering relationships with both established service firms and emerging small business concerns, ensuring robust competition and fair market access. Harris demonstrates a pronounced commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with half of his awards structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, reflecting a deliberate strategy to expand opportunities for small businesses. The remaining half are awarded without set-aside, indicating flexibility to meet urgent or specialized needs while maintaining a strong preference for small business participation across his portfolio. His primary procurement focus centers on NAICS 811219—Other Commercial and Industrial Machinery and Equipment Repair and Maintenance—which constitutes nearly one-third of his activity. Additional emphasis is placed on engineering services (541330), testing laboratories (541380), and nonresidential building leasing (531120), underscoring expertise in facilities support, technical services, and industrial maintenance domains. This specialization reveals a deep understanding of operational infrastructure needs and a proven ability to procure mission-critical services that sustain institutional functionality.
