Shameka M. Harris

Shameka M. Harris serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of complex acquisitions within a federal technical procurement environment. She ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while executing competitive solicitations for high-technology systems and specialized engineering services. Her work directly supports mission-critical capabilities in aviation systems, electrical instrumentation, and advanced aerospace components, aligning with the agency’s strategic objectives for innovation and operational readiness. Harris typically handles sealed bid and negotiated procurements under FAR Part 15, with a focus on performance-based contracting and risk-mitigated acquisition strategies. Her contractor relationships are centered on manufacturers and engineering firms specializing in aeronautical components, test and measurement instrumentation, and defense-grade electronic systems. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, she consistently engages with Tier 1 suppliers and niche technical vendors capable of delivering precision-engineered parts and integrated avionics solutions. Her procurement approach emphasizes technical evaluation, source selection based on past performance, and rigorous contract administration to ensure deliverables meet stringent aerospace and defense standards. Shameka Harris has a uniform preference for full and open competition, with 100% of her acquisitions conducted without set-asides. This reflects a strategic alignment with mission requirements that demand specialized technical expertise not readily available among small business concerns in her primary domains. While she does not currently utilize socioeconomic programs such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB, her contracting decisions prioritize technical capability, quality assurance, and delivery timelines over socioeconomic preferences. Her procurement focus is concentrated in NAICS 336413 for other aircraft parts and auxiliary equipment, with significant activity in 334515 and 334511 for electrical and aeronautical instrumentation systems. She also regularly procures engineering services under NAICS 541330 to support system integration, testing, and compliance validation. Her domain expertise lies in advanced aerospace electronics, flight control systems, and mission-critical measurement technologies used in defense and aviation applications.
