Victoria C Hargrave

Victoria C. Hargrave serves as a Procurement Specialist responsible for managing the acquisition lifecycle for technical and laboratory equipment, software services, and specialized electronics. She plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations while aligning procurements with agency mission objectives. Her work typically involves competitive solicitation, source selection, and contract administration for high-precision instruments and custom technology solutions, with a focus on ensuring timely delivery of mission-critical capabilities. Hargrave’s acquisitions span both commercial and non-developmental items, requiring deep technical understanding of instrument specifications and software integration requirements. While specific contractor names are not available, Hargrave maintains a balanced procurement approach that engages both large-scale technology vendors and small business suppliers. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for open competition, yet she actively cultivates relationships with certified small businesses to foster innovation and market diversity. Vendor partnerships are characterized by transparent communication, rigorous performance evaluation, and adherence to FAR compliance standards, ensuring accountability and value across the acquisition spectrum. Hargrave demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with 45% of her procurements structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. Her contracting strategy prioritizes inclusive economic opportunity, consistently leveraging small business set-asides over other socioeconomic categories such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB. This reflects a deliberate focus on broad-based small business engagement rather than targeted socioeconomically disadvantaged programs, supporting a resilient and competitive supplier base. Her primary procurement focus centers on NAICS 334516 (Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing), indicating expertise in procuring scientific and testing equipment for research and quality assurance applications. She also regularly acquires Custom Computer Programming Services (NAICS 541511) and Audio/Video Equipment (NAICS 334310), demonstrating technical proficiency in information technology systems and instrumentation integration. Her domain expertise lies at the intersection of laboratory science, data acquisition systems, and specialized electronics, ensuring that acquisitions meet stringent performance and interoperability standards.
