Tiara Freeman

Tiara Freeman serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of complex information technology acquisitions, ensuring compliance with federal procurement regulations and aligning contracts with agency mission objectives. She specializes in soliciting, evaluating, and awarding service-based contracts under the Federal Acquisition Regulation, with a focus on technical requirements for systems design and infrastructure services. Her role is central to delivering mission-critical IT solutions through competitive, transparent, and efficient contracting processes that prioritize value, risk mitigation, and regulatory adherence. Tiara cultivates collaborative relationships with a diverse pool of vendors specializing in IT services, particularly those with demonstrated expertise in systems architecture and cloud-enabled infrastructure. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, she regularly engages with firms capable of delivering scalable, secure, and interoperable technology solutions. Her procurement approach emphasizes performance-based contracting, clear statement of work development, and rigorous source selection criteria to ensure outcomes-driven deliverables and contractor accountability. Tiara’s contracting patterns reflect a strong preference for full and open competition, with 100% of her awards issued without set-aside restrictions. This indicates a strategic focus on leveraging market-wide capabilities to achieve optimal technical outcomes rather than socioeconomic targeting. While she does not routinely utilize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, her processes remain fully compliant with small business participation goals, and she actively encourages small business involvement through unrestricted competitions where eligible firms can compete on merit. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541512 (Computer Systems Design Services), where she sources custom software development, systems integration, and enterprise architecture services. She also frequently procures solutions under NAICS 518210, including cloud hosting, data center operations, and managed IT infrastructure. Tiara’s technical expertise centers on modern IT environments, with deep familiarity with DevOps practices, cybersecurity integration, and service-oriented architectures.
