Bonnie Hicks

Bonnie Hicks serves as a Contracting Officer responsible for managing complex acquisition programs centered on commercial and institutional construction, architectural services, and specialty trade contracting. She plays a critical role in executing the agency’s procurement mission by ensuring full compliance with federal acquisition regulations, fostering competition, and delivering high-value infrastructure and facility-related solutions. Her portfolio primarily includes firm-fixed-price and cost-reimbursement contracts for new construction, renovation, and systems integration within the built environment, often requiring coordination with design professionals, general contractors, and specialized trade vendors. Bonnie cultivates strong working relationships with a diverse range of contractors, including general contractors, architectural firms, and plumbing, HVAC, and roofing specialty subcontractors. While no single contractor dominates her award profile, she consistently engages both large prime contractors and small business subcontractors through competitive sealed bidding and negotiated procurements. Her approach emphasizes transparency, fair competition, and performance-based contract management, ensuring accountability and quality across the lifecycle of each acquisition. A strong advocate for small business participation, Bonnie prioritizes socioeconomic contracting opportunities, with approximately 24.4% of her awards directed toward small business set-asides. She frequently utilizes Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5 and actively promotes participation from Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses and HUBZone firms, reflecting a balanced commitment to equitable access and economic inclusion. Her contracting patterns demonstrate a deliberate effort to expand the small business base within the construction sector. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction) and 541310 (Architectural Services), with significant activity in plumbing, heating, and air-conditioning systems (238220) and roofing (238160). Bonnie brings deep technical expertise in facility design, construction management, and specialty trade integration, ensuring that acquisitions meet stringent safety, sustainability, and operational requirements for public infrastructure.
