Tamika d Hines

Tamika D. Hines serves as a Contracting Officer responsible for managing federal acquisitions across specialized industrial sectors, ensuring compliance with FAR regulations and promoting efficient, transparent procurement practices. She oversees the full lifecycle of contract actions—from solicitation and evaluation to award and administration—focusing on complex manufacturing and industrial supply requirements. Her role is critical to fulfilling agency mission needs through strategic sourcing, risk mitigation, and stakeholder coordination, particularly in capital-intensive and technically demanding procurement categories. While specific contractor names are not available, Tamika maintains collaborative relationships with a diverse pool of vendors, including both large manufacturers and small business suppliers, emphasizing competitive bidding and fair opportunity. Her contracting approach prioritizes clear requirements development, thorough market research, and performance-based outcomes, fostering long-term vendor partnerships grounded in accountability and regulatory adherence. Tamika demonstrates a strong commitment to small business engagement, with approximately one-third of her awards structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to expand economic opportunity within the small business community, particularly for firms capable of delivering specialized manufacturing solutions. Her pattern of awarding primarily non-set-aside contracts (66.7%) indicates a balanced approach that prioritizes capability and capacity while still actively facilitating small business participation where appropriate. Her procurement focus centers on NAICS 313210 (Broadwoven Fabric Mills) and 332410 (Power Boiler and Heat Exchanger Manufacturing), indicating deep expertise in industrial textiles and thermal systems. She regularly manages acquisitions for high-performance fabrics, heat transfer equipment, and related components used in defense, energy, or infrastructure applications. This technical domain requires precise specification development, quality assurance oversight, and an understanding of material science and manufacturing standards, positioning her as a specialist in complex industrial procurement.
