Vivian S Hubbs

Vivian S. Hubbs serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from requirements definition through contract award and administration. She plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and supports the agency’s mission by executing complex procurements for professional, scientific, and technical services. Her portfolio primarily includes competitive solicitations under sealed bidding and negotiated procedures, with a focus on IT systems, laboratory services, and specialized technical support. Hubbs ensures that all acquisitions align with statutory requirements, risk mitigation protocols, and performance-based contracting principles. While no specific contractor relationships are identified, Hubbs engages with a broad spectrum of vendors, including large prime contractors and small business subcontractors, consistently adhering to fair and open competition practices. Her procurement approach emphasizes transparency, thorough market research, and structured evaluation criteria to ensure value and accountability. She maintains collaborative relationships with industry stakeholders to foster innovation and ensure solutions meet evolving technical and operational needs. Hubbs demonstrates a strong preference for unrestricted competition, with 93.4% of her acquisitions conducted without set-asides. However, she actively supports small business participation, allocating 6.6% of her contracting activity to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a balanced commitment to maximizing competition while fulfilling socioeconomic goals without compromising mission requirements. Her primary NAICS focus areas include Computer Systems Design Services (541512), Medical Laboratories (621511), Software Publishers (511210), All Other Professional Services (541990), and Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing (334516). These reflect deep expertise in procuring IT infrastructure, diagnostic testing services, software solutions, and precision instrumentation—demonstrating proficiency in both clinical and technical domains critical to modern public service delivery.
