Rebecca Archer-Knepper

Rebecca Archer-Knepper serves as an Assistant/General Services Officer (A/GSO) responsible for managing procurement activities within a federal environment focused on travel and mobility services. In this role, she oversees the full lifecycle of acquisition processes—from market research and solicitation development to contract award and administration—ensuring compliance with federal procurement regulations and agency mission objectives. Her work directly supports the logistical and operational needs of government personnel by securing reliable, cost-effective travel agency services, including itinerary management, transportation coordination, and global travel support solutions. She functions as a key liaison between internal stakeholders and external vendors, ensuring acquisitions align with federal standards and efficiency goals. Rebecca maintains a broad and consistent vendor base within the travel services sector, engaging primarily with commercial travel management companies and tourism service providers. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for established, full-service travel agencies capable of delivering integrated solutions across domestic and international markets. She fosters collaborative, performance-based relationships with contractors, emphasizing accountability, transparency, and service-level adherence without reliance on specialized socioeconomic set-asides. Her set-aside preferences are exclusively non-set-aside, with 100% of her acquisitions conducted under open competition. This reflects a strategic focus on maximizing market competition and achieving optimal value through broad-based solicitation rather than targeted socioeconomic programs. While she does not prioritize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, her approach ensures fair and open access for all qualified vendors, consistent with agency-wide procurement efficiency mandates. Rebecca’s primary industry focus is NAICS 561510—Travel Agencies—which encompasses the procurement of comprehensive travel management services, including booking systems, expense reporting tools, traveler safety protocols, and global travel advisories. Her technical expertise lies in evaluating vendor capabilities in travel technology integration, compliance with federal travel regulations (such as the Joint Travel Regulations), and scalability of service delivery across federal departments. She is a recognized specialist in securing high-volume, low-risk travel support contracts that ensure seamless mobility for government personnel.
