Bethany K. Bonasera

Bethany K. Bonasera serves as a Purchasing Agent responsible for managing the acquisition of specialized industrial, chemical, and agricultural products and services. In her role, she ensures compliance with federal procurement regulations while supporting operational needs through strategic sourcing and competitive bidding processes. Her acquisitions span a diverse range of technical domains, including process control instrumentation, chemical manufacturing inputs, soil management services, and petroleum product distribution. She plays a critical role in aligning procurement activities with agency mission objectives, prioritizing efficiency, regulatory adherence, and market responsiveness in the execution of solicitations and contract awards. While specific contractor names are not available, Bonasera maintains a broad network of vendors across manufacturing, wholesale distribution, and agricultural services sectors. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for competitive, open-market opportunities balanced with targeted small business set-asides, fostering relationships with both established suppliers and emerging small businesses capable of meeting technical specifications for precision instrumentation and specialized chemical formulations. Bonasera demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with over 57% of her awards designated as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to maximize participation from small businesses, including those certified under HUBZone, SDB, and other socioeconomically disadvantaged categories. Her consistent use of set-asides underscores a proactive approach to promoting equitable access to federal contracting opportunities and strengthening the small business supply base. Her primary procurement focus centers on five NAICS categories, each representing 16.7% of her activity: soil preparation and agricultural cultivation; manufacturing of industrial measurement and control devices; miscellaneous chemical product manufacturing; and petroleum product wholesale distribution. This technical diversity highlights her expertise in procuring both physical goods and specialized services requiring precise performance standards, particularly in environmental, industrial, and process control applications.
