Annette Griego-Shaw

Annette Griego-Shaw serves as a Contracting Officer responsible for managing complex professional services acquisitions aligned with scientific and technical mission objectives. In this role, she ensures full compliance with federal acquisition regulations while facilitating efficient, transparent, and competitive procurement processes. Her portfolio centers on high-value consulting and research services, supporting mission-critical initiatives through strategic sourcing and contract administration. She works closely with program managers and technical evaluators to define requirements, structure solicitation packages, and negotiate contract terms that deliver optimal value and performance outcomes. Annette cultivates relationships with a diverse range of vendors specializing in scientific, engineering, and technical consulting services. While no single contractor dominates her award portfolio, she consistently engages both large professional services firms and small businesses with niche expertise in applied research and technical analysis. Her procurement approach emphasizes fair competition, clear performance metrics, and accountability, fostering long-term vendor partnerships grounded in compliance and quality delivery. Annette’s contracting patterns reflect a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of her acquisitions conducted without set-aside designations. This indicates a deliberate focus on maximizing market participation and selecting the most qualified offerors regardless of socioeconomic status, rather than prioritizing designated programs such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB. Her approach underscores a commitment to merit-based selection while still ensuring small business inclusion through unrestricted opportunities. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541690 (Other Scientific and Technical Consulting Services), where she secures expert advisory services in areas such as systems analysis, policy evaluation, and technical feasibility studies. She also regularly procures services under NAICS 541712, supporting research and development in physical, engineering, and life sciences. These contracts typically involve data-driven analysis, laboratory support, and innovation-focused technical assistance, reflecting her deep familiarity with scientific procurement frameworks and performance-based contracting methodologies.
