Yvonne P. Pryce

Yvonne P. Pryce serves as a Project Specialist (Contracts) within Region 2: Emergency Preparedness at the Federal Emergency Management Agency, where she plays a pivotal role in executing mission-critical procurement actions that sustain operational readiness across FEMA’s emergency response infrastructure. Responsible for managing the full lifecycle of acquisitions—from requirements definition and market research to contract award and administration—she ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while aligning procurements with the agency’s strategic priorities in facility maintenance, logistical support, and workforce preparedness. Her portfolio primarily encompasses specialized transportation equipment and systems essential to emergency mobilization and regional response operations. While specific contractor names are not publicly available, Yvonne cultivates collaborative relationships with a diverse pool of vendors, particularly those capable of delivering customized, high-integrity transportation equipment under tight operational timelines. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, technical compliance, and vendor accountability, fostering long-term partnerships with firms possessing the agility to support dynamic emergency scenarios. She actively engages with industry through pre-solicitation outreach and market validation events to ensure solutions meet evolving federal emergency response standards. Yvonne demonstrates an unwavering commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with 100% of her acquisitions structured as small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to maximize opportunities for small businesses, including HUBZone, SDVOSB, and 8(a) certified firms, ensuring equitable access to federal emergency preparedness contracts. Her consistent application of set-asides reinforces FEMA’s mission to build resilient, community-based supply chains capable of rapid deployment during crises. Her primary procurement focus is on NAICS 336999—All Other Transportation Equipment Manufacturing—encompassing specialized vehicles, mobile command units, decontamination systems, and other non-standardized transportation assets critical to emergency operations. Yvonne’s technical expertise lies in procuring ruggedized, mission-specific equipment designed for harsh environments, demonstrating deep familiarity with federal standards for durability, interoperability, and rapid field deployment.
