Renee M. Hicks

Renee M. Hicks serves as a key procurement professional within the General Services Administration’s Federal Acquisition Service, Region 9, supporting the agency’s mission to deliver mission-critical services that enhance federal operational efficiency and digital resilience. She manages a diverse portfolio of acquisitions focused on professional, scientific, and technical services, with particular emphasis on information technology systems design, facility maintenance, and general government support functions. Her work ensures federal agencies receive high-quality, compliant solutions that align with modernization goals and infrastructure needs, often coordinating across multiple stakeholders to deliver integrated procurement outcomes. Her contractor relationships span a broad spectrum of vendors, including large prime contractors and specialized small businesses providing computer systems design, office furniture manufacturing, and technical consulting services. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, she consistently engages firms with proven capabilities in federal compliance, agile service delivery, and scalable technical solutions. Her approach emphasizes performance-based contracting, clear statement of work development, and rigorous source selection to ensure value and accountability. Renee’s contracting patterns reflect a strong preference for full and open competition, with 100% of her acquisitions conducted without set-aside designations such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB. This indicates a strategic focus on selecting the most qualified offerors based on technical merit and past performance, rather than socioeconomic categorization. While small business participation is not formally prioritized in her award structure, she maintains compliance with all applicable regulations and ensures fair opportunity for all eligible vendors. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541512 (Computer Systems Design Services), 337211 (Wood Office Furniture Manufacturing), 921190 (Other General Government Support), and 541990 (All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services). She routinely procures IT infrastructure modernization, ergonomic workplace solutions, administrative support services, and specialized technical consulting, demonstrating deep expertise in integrating operational needs with federal acquisition regulations.
