Shere Reese

Shere Reese serves as a primary procurement contact, managing acquisitions and overseeing the contractual requirements necessary to support their agency's mission. Regarding set-aside preferences, the procurement patterns show a significant emphasis on open competition, with a majority of awards designated as No Set-Aside. However, there is a clear commitment to small business participation, with Total Small Business Set-Asides accounting for a third of the activity and a smaller portion dedicated to 8(a) competed contracts. Additionally, the agency utilizes sole source procurement under FAR 12.102(a) for specialized requirements, specifically with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). The industry focus for these acquisitions is diverse, spanning hospitality, scientific manufacturing, and technology. Key procurement areas include hotel and motel services (NAICS 721110), as well as the manufacturing of analytical laboratory instruments and industrial process variable measuring devices. The portfolio also includes the acquisition of software publishing services and institutional furniture manufacturing.
