Bridgette Caico

Bridgette Caico serves as a Clerk supporting procurement operations within her agency, playing a critical administrative role in the execution of acquisition workflows. She facilitates the processing of purchase orders, maintains contract documentation, and ensures compliance with federal procurement regulations during the solicitation and award phases. While not a contracting officer, her position is essential to the timely and accurate administration of procurements, particularly in the recyclable materials supply chain. She works closely with contracting specialists to coordinate vendor communications, track delivery schedules, and maintain procurement records, ensuring operational continuity in the agency’s acquisition lifecycle. Bridgette collaborates with a network of merchant wholesalers and distributors specializing in recyclable commodities, though specific contractor names are not publicly identifiable in available records. Her role involves routine coordination with vendors who provide bulk recyclable materials, ensuring adherence to delivery terms and documentation requirements. She supports a transactional procurement model characterized by repeat engagements with established suppliers, emphasizing efficiency and regulatory compliance over complex negotiated contracts. Her procurement activity reflects a 100% preference for non-set-aside acquisitions, indicating a focus on open competition rather than socioeconomic programs such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB. This pattern suggests a mission-driven emphasis on cost-effective, high-volume sourcing without targeted small business set-asides, aligning with operational needs for consistent material supply rather than socioeconomic objectives. Bridgette’s procurement focus is exclusively centered on NAICS 423930—Recyclable Material Merchant Wholesalers—indicating deep specialization in the procurement of scrap metals, paper, plastics, and other recyclable commodities. She supports the acquisition of bulk materials used in industrial recycling and waste management operations, demonstrating technical familiarity with material grading standards, transportation logistics, and environmental compliance requirements in the recycling supply chain.
