Tara Griffin

Tara Griffin serves as a procurement specialist responsible for managing janitorial and facility support services acquisitions on behalf of a federal agency. Her role centers on ensuring the delivery of high-quality cleaning and maintenance services that meet stringent operational and health standards across federal facilities. She executes solicitations, evaluates proposals, and administers contracts under the Federal Acquisition Regulation, with a focus on performance-based service contracts that emphasize outcome-driven metrics and accountability. Her work directly supports the agency’s mission to maintain safe, sanitary, and efficiently operated work environments for federal personnel and the public. Griffin maintains a broad network of service providers specializing in commercial janitorial operations, including both large national contractors and regional firms with proven track records in federal facility management. Her contracting approach prioritizes vendor reliability, compliance with federal labor standards, and consistent service delivery across multiple sites. She engages with vendors through competitive bidding processes, including indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contracts and task order solicitations, fostering long-term partnerships grounded in performance evaluations and contract compliance. Griffin’s procurement portfolio is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. While she does not currently utilize socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs, her approach reflects a deliberate focus on technical capability, cost-effectiveness, and service quality as the primary selection criteria. This aligns with agency-wide priorities that emphasize efficiency and uniformity in facility services across diverse geographic locations. Her primary procurement focus is on NAICS 561720 — Janitorial Services — encompassing routine cleaning, waste management, restroom sanitation, and specialized disinfection protocols. She routinely procures services that require adherence to federal environmental and occupational safety guidelines, demonstrating deep expertise in performance specifications, service level agreements, and facility-specific operational requirements. Her domain knowledge ensures that contracted services meet the unique demands of federal infrastructure, from high-traffic administrative buildings to sensitive operational facilities.
