Tracey Harriot

Tracey Harriot serves as a Contract Specialist within the Support Services Section (SS40) of the Federal Emergency Management Agency, where she plays a critical role in securing administrative and management consulting services essential to sustaining FEMA’s operational readiness. She manages the full lifecycle of procurements—from market research and solicitation development to contract award and administration—ensuring alignment with federal acquisition regulations and agency mission priorities. Her work directly supports FEMA’s ability to deliver efficient, responsive emergency management infrastructure by acquiring high-value consulting services that enhance organizational performance during crisis operations. Harriot collaborates with a broad spectrum of federal contractors specializing in strategic management consulting, operational efficiency, and administrative support services. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, she consistently engages firms with demonstrated expertise in federal agency support, including those with experience in DHS and FEMA environments. Her procurement approach emphasizes performance-based contracting, clear statement of work development, and rigorous contractor performance evaluation to ensure mission-critical outcomes. Her contracting activity reflects a strong preference for full and open competition, with 100% of her acquisitions conducted without set-asides, indicating a focus on selecting the most qualified providers regardless of socioeconomic status. This approach underscores a commitment to merit-based selection and mission effectiveness over mandated socioeconomic preferences, though she remains compliant with all applicable small business programs when applicable. Harriot’s primary procurement focus is centered on NAICS 541611—Administrative Management and General Management Consulting Services—encompassing strategic planning, process optimization, workforce development, and organizational consulting. She routinely procures services that improve internal workflows, enhance resource allocation, and strengthen emergency response coordination, making her a key enabler of FEMA’s administrative resilience during high-stakes operations.
