Rashurn Harrison

Rashurn Harrison serves as a Contract Specialist within the Preparedness SECTION (PRE20) of the Federal Emergency Management Agency, supporting the agency’s mission to strengthen national resilience through strategic procurement of administrative, logistical, and operational resources. In this role, Harrison manages the full lifecycle of acquisitions—from market research and solicitation development to contract award and administration—ensuring compliance with FAR and agency-specific policies. Their portfolio primarily encompasses support services critical to emergency response readiness, including facility operations, training infrastructure, and supply chain logistics, aligning procurement activities with FEMA’s broader goals of workforce development and incident management capability enhancement. While no specific contractor relationships are currently identified in the dataset, Harrison engages with a diverse range of vendors across multiple sectors to fulfill mission-critical needs, fostering partnerships with both large-scale service providers and small businesses capable of delivering agile, scalable solutions. Their contracting patterns reflect a preference for performance-based acquisitions and task-order contracts that enable responsive, mission-aligned support during dynamic operational environments. Harrison demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with 77.5% of acquisitions conducted under open competition and 20% reserved for total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. An additional 2.5% of awards are designated for Women-Owned Small Businesses, reflecting a deliberate effort to expand vendor diversity and promote equitable access to federal opportunities. Though no 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides are currently prevalent, the overall structure supports broad small business participation in alignment with federal goals. The procurement focus centers on NAICS categories including 721110 (hotel and motel services for emergency personnel), 611710 (educational support services for training programs), and 488999 (transportation support activities), indicating expertise in securing lodging, workforce development, and logistical coordination services essential to disaster response operations. Harrison’s technical domain knowledge spans operational readiness infrastructure and supply chain enablement for federal emergency management systems.
