Tiffani R. Harris

Tiffani A. Harris serves as IST Section Supervisor, overseeing critical procurement activities within the agency’s information systems and technical infrastructure division. In this role, she leads the planning, solicitation, and award of contracts for specialized industrial and manufacturing equipment, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and mission-aligned technical requirements. Her portfolio centers on high-integrity hardware and engineered components essential to national infrastructure and defense readiness, with a focus on precision manufacturing and industrial automation systems. She collaborates closely with engineering and logistics teams to align acquisition strategy with operational needs, ensuring timely delivery of mission-critical assets. While specific contractor names are not publicly disclosed, Harris maintains consistent partnerships with manufacturers specializing in steel pipe and tube fabrication, hardware assembly, and electromechanical systems. Her procurement approach emphasizes technical capability, supply chain resilience, and regulatory adherence, fostering long-term vendor relationships with firms capable of meeting stringent quality and certification standards. She actively engages with industry through pre-solicitation outreach and market research to identify capable suppliers and mitigate acquisition risks. Harris demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with over one-third of her acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. Women-owned and service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses each account for nearly 2% of her award activity, reflecting a deliberate effort to broaden vendor diversity. While the majority of her contracts remain open to all competitors, her consistent use of small business set-asides underscores a strategic alignment with federal socioeconomic goals. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 331210 (iron and steel pipe and tube manufacturing), with significant activity in hardware manufacturing (332510) and motor and generator production (335312). She specializes in sourcing durable, high-performance industrial components used in defense, energy, and critical infrastructure applications, demonstrating deep technical familiarity with metallurgical specifications, mechanical tolerances, and military-grade certification standards.
