Anna M. Winston

Anna M. Winston serves as a procurement professional responsible for managing complex acquisitions across critical infrastructure and support services. She plays a central role in executing the agency’s contracting strategy, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations while advancing mission-critical objectives. Her portfolio primarily encompasses construction-related services, technical support, and specialized manufacturing contracts, with a strong emphasis on competitive solicitation processes that prioritize transparency and efficiency. Winston is instrumental in aligning procurement activities with broader organizational goals, ensuring timely delivery of essential goods and services through well-structured contracting vehicles. Her contractor relationships span a diverse range of vendors, particularly those with expertise in plumbing, heating, and air-conditioning systems, poured concrete construction, and industrial tool manufacturing. She consistently engages with both large-capability firms and small business concerns, fostering partnerships grounded in performance accountability and regulatory compliance. Winston’s approach emphasizes collaborative vendor engagement, encouraging pre-solicitation outreach and clear evaluation criteria to promote fair competition and quality outcomes. A defining feature of her contracting profile is a strong preference for small business set-asides, with nearly 59% of her awards designated under FAR 19.5 for total small business set-asides. This reflects a deliberate and sustained commitment to socioeconomic contracting goals, prioritizing opportunities for small businesses without relying heavily on specialized programs like 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB. Her pattern demonstrates a preference for broad-based small business inclusion rather than targeted socioeconomically disadvantaged categories. Her primary NAICS focus areas include 238220 (plumbing and HVAC), 238110 (concrete foundation contracting), 561990 (support services), 511210 (software publishing), and 332216 (handtool manufacturing). This blend of construction, technical services, and light manufacturing underscores her expertise in procuring both physical infrastructure and operational support systems, positioning her as a key liaison between technical requirements and commercial market capabilities.
