Angela Cusati

Angela Cusati serves as a Contracting Officer responsible for managing the acquisition of specialized food manufacturing products and services in support of federal operational requirements. She plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with federal procurement regulations while delivering mission-critical supplies through transparent, competitive processes. Her portfolio primarily consists of full and open competitions under the Federal Acquisition Regulation, with a strong emphasis on technical specifications for food safety, shelf-life integrity, and nutritional compliance. She handles both firm-fixed-price and cost-reimbursement contracts, often coordinating with technical evaluators and program managers to align procurement outcomes with agency needs. While specific contractor relationships are not currently identifiable due to limited award data, Ms. Cusati’s procurement patterns indicate a preference for established vendors with demonstrated capability in food production, packaging, and distribution. She engages with a diverse pool of suppliers, including those with quality management systems certified to FDA and USDA standards, fostering competitive bidding environments that prioritize performance, reliability, and regulatory adherence. Ms. Cusati exhibits a moderate commitment to small business participation, with 14.3% of her acquisitions designated as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. Though the majority of her contracts are conducted as full and open competitions, she actively considers small business eligibility during solicitation planning and encourages participation through clear, accessible solicitation language and reasonable evaluation criteria. Her approach reflects a balanced adherence to socioeconomic goals without compromising mission readiness. Her procurement focus is exclusively centered on NAICS 311999 — All Other Miscellaneous Food Manufacturing — encompassing ready-to-eat meals, specialized dietary products, and non-perishable food items requiring precise formulation and packaging. This specialization reflects deep technical expertise in food science compliance, labeling regulations, and supply chain logistics for federally regulated food products. She ensures all acquisitions meet federal nutrition standards and are procured in alignment with applicable food safety statutes.
