Barbara Sonnier

Barbara Sonnier serves as a Senior Contracting Consultant, providing expert guidance on the acquisition and management of complex information technology services. In this role, she ensures compliance with federal procurement regulations while delivering mission-critical solutions that support agency objectives. Her work centers on the full lifecycle of contract actions—from market research and solicitation development to award and contract administration—with a strong emphasis on performance-based acquisition strategies and risk mitigation. She routinely handles task and delivery order contracts under indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) vehicles, prioritizing agile, outcomes-driven procurement approaches that align with evolving technological demands. Barbara collaborates with a diverse range of industry partners specializing in IT services, including systems integrators, software developers, and managed service providers. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, she consistently engages firms with proven technical capabilities in cloud infrastructure, data analytics, and cybersecurity support. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for competitive, open-market procurements that foster innovation and vendor flexibility, encouraging both large and small entities to compete on technical merit and past performance. Her procurement activity is exclusively non-set-aside, reflecting a strategic focus on open competition under the 541519 NAICS code for Other Computer Related Services. This approach underscores her commitment to selecting the most qualified vendors regardless of socioeconomic status, while still ensuring full compliance with small business participation goals through unrestricted competition. Barbara’s primary technical domain is information technology services, with deep expertise in software development, systems modernization, and IT consulting. She routinely procures solutions involving custom application development, cloud migration, cybersecurity assessments, and data management services—all aligned with the evolving needs of federal operations in a digital-first environment. Her specialization in NAICS 541519 positions her as a key resource for acquiring non-hardware, service-oriented IT capabilities that drive operational efficiency and mission readiness.
