Tarra L Power

Tarra L. Power serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from market research and solicitation development to contract award and administration. Her role is central to ensuring compliance with federal procurement regulations while advancing mission-critical supply chain needs. She specializes in procurements governed by the Federal Acquisition Regulation, with a focus on industrial components and hardware solutions. Her acquisitions typically involve sealed bidding and negotiated contracts under FAR Part 15, often requiring technical evaluation panels and detailed performance work statements to ensure deliverables meet stringent quality and interoperability standards. While specific contractor names are not available, Tarra maintains consistent working relationships with manufacturers and suppliers specializing in precision-engineered components. Her procurement patterns reflect a preference for vendors with established quality control systems, ISO certifications, and the capacity to meet Just-in-Time delivery requirements. She engages with both large-capacity manufacturers and small business subcontractors, fostering collaborative supply chain partnerships that emphasize reliability, traceability, and regulatory adherence. Tarra demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with 57.1% of her awards designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to maximize opportunities for small businesses, particularly those certified under the SBA’s size standards. Her contracting patterns show minimal use of other socioeconomic set-asides, indicating a primary focus on general small business eligibility rather than targeted programs like 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB. This approach supports broad-based economic growth while maintaining competitive acquisition integrity. Her procurement expertise is concentrated in NAICS 339991 (Gasket, Packing, and Sealing Device Manufacturing), accounting for 86.7% of her activity, with additional focus on NAICS 332510 (Hardware Manufacturing). She regularly acquires custom-engineered seals, gaskets, valves, and mechanical fasteners used in industrial, aerospace, and defense applications. Her domain knowledge includes material specifications, tolerances, and compliance with military and industrial standards such as ASME, SAE, and MIL-SPEC, positioning her as a technical procurement professional with deep industry-specific acumen.
