Bridgette Goldsmith

Bridgette Goldsmith serves as a Contract Specialist Intern, supporting the acquisition lifecycle for critical administrative and workforce services within her agency. In this role, she assists in drafting solicitation documents, evaluating vendor proposals, and ensuring compliance with federal procurement regulations, including the FAR and agency-specific policies. Her responsibilities include coordinating with program offices to define requirements, conducting market research, and facilitating contract award and administration processes. Goldsmith’s work directly contributes to the efficient procurement of professional services that enable core operational functions, with a focus on staffing solutions and management consulting support. While specific contractor relationships are not yet established due to her intern status, Goldsmith is actively engaged in identifying and vetting potential vendors within her primary NAICS focus areas. She collaborates with procurement teams to assess vendor capabilities, ensure small business eligibility, and promote fair competition among qualified offerors. Her emerging working relationships include both large professional services firms and emerging small businesses, reflecting a balanced approach to market engagement and vendor development. Goldsmith’s contracting patterns reflect a strong preference for full and open competition, with 100% of her supported acquisitions classified as “No Set-Aside.” This indicates a focus on merit-based selection rather than socioeconomic set-asides, though she remains well-versed in 8(a), HUBZone, and SDVOSB programs and supports their use when appropriate. Her approach prioritizes transparency, competition, and regulatory compliance in all acquisition actions. Her primary procurement expertise lies in NAICS 561311 (Employment Placement Agencies) and 541611 (Administrative Management and General Management Consulting Services). She specializes in acquiring temporary staffing, workforce recruitment, organizational development, and operational efficiency consulting services. This technical domain requires deep familiarity with labor market dynamics, performance-based contracting, and service-level agreement structures, positioning her to effectively support mission-critical human capital and administrative needs.
