Tracie J Gutierrez

Tracie J. Gutierrez serves as a Contract Specialist within the General Services Administration’s Federal Acquisition Service (FAS) Region 8, where she plays a pivotal role in executing mission-critical procurements that support federal cybersecurity, digital infrastructure modernization, and operational readiness. Her responsibilities encompass the full lifecycle of acquisition activities—from market research and solicitation development to contract award and administration—ensuring compliance with FAR regulations and GSA policy. She primarily manages technical service contracts in support of federal agency operations, with a strong emphasis on engineering, training, and specialized support services that align with FAS Region 8’s strategic mission to enhance national security through agile and resilient acquisition solutions. While specific contractor names are not publicly disclosed, Gutierrez maintains collaborative relationships with a diverse range of vendors, including prime contractors and subcontractors delivering specialized technical services. Her procurement patterns reflect a balanced engagement with both large-capability firms and small business partners, fostering competitive environments that prioritize innovation, quality, and regulatory compliance. She actively facilitates vendor outreach and pre-solicitation engagement to ensure market awareness and responsiveness to complex technical requirements. Gutierrez demonstrates a robust commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with nearly half of her portfolio structured as open competitions, while equally distributing set-asides among 8(a) firms, total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, and service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses (SDVOSB). This balanced approach ensures equitable access to federal opportunities while maintaining a competitive and compliant acquisition environment. Her primary procurement focus centers on NAICS 488190 (Other Support Activities for Air Transportation), reflecting significant demand for aviation-related technical support, alongside NAICS 339113 (Surgical Appliance and Supplies Manufacturing) and 611430 (Professional and Management Development Training). This unique blend underscores her expertise in procuring niche technical services, specialized equipment, and workforce development solutions critical to federal operational continuity and mission success.
