Tifani L. Burgess

Tifani L. Burgess supports the Federal Acquisition Service’s mission to deliver secure, cost-effective, and compliant procurement solutions for the federal government’s travel and administrative infrastructure. Within the GSA/FAS Office of Acquisition Operations, she plays a critical role in managing acquisitions that sustain government mobility, including air transportation, lodging, and travel management services. Her work ensures that federal agencies have reliable access to essential travel ecosystem components while adhering to FAR guidelines and strategic modernization goals. She routinely handles complex service-based contracts requiring high levels of operational integration, compliance, and vendor performance oversight. While specific contractor names are not available, Burgess engages with a broad spectrum of vendors specializing in travel services, hospitality, and supporting technology infrastructure. Her procurement patterns reflect a preference for established industry participants with proven capabilities in federal compliance, data security, and service scalability. She cultivates partnerships with firms capable of delivering integrated travel solutions, including reservation systems, lodging networks, and transportation logistics platforms, often requiring multi-year performance-based contract structures. Burgess demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with 12.5% of her acquisitions designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. While the majority of her contracts are unrestricted, she consistently prioritizes opportunities for small businesses to compete for non-set-aside awards, aligning with GSA’s broader socioeconomic objectives. Her contracting patterns reflect a balanced approach—leveraging large-scale efficiencies while ensuring meaningful access for small business vendors. Her primary procurement focus centers on NAICS 523920 (Travel Arrangement and Reservation Services), reflecting deep expertise in managing travel ecosystem contracts. She also regularly procures lodging services under NAICS 721110, computing infrastructure under 518210, and vehicle wholesale services under 423110, demonstrating technical fluency across hospitality, digital services, and logistics domains. Her work ensures seamless integration of travel support systems across federal agencies.
