Charlene M. Spollen

Charlene M. Spollen serves as a Contract Administrator responsible for managing the full lifecycle of procurement actions, from solicitation through contract award and administration. She ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations and supports the agency’s mission by executing timely, transparent, and legally sound contracting actions. Her portfolio primarily involves complex construction and industrial manufacturing procurements, requiring deep technical understanding and rigorous contract oversight. Spollen works closely with program managers, legal counsel, and technical evaluators to align acquisition strategies with operational needs, ensuring that contracts meet performance, cost, and schedule objectives. Spollen maintains professional relationships with a broad range of vendors specializing in electrical installation and rolled steel manufacturing. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, she consistently engages with firms possessing the technical capability to deliver specialized electrical systems and precision steel products. Her approach emphasizes competitive bidding, clear performance metrics, and post-award monitoring to ensure contractor accountability. She fosters collaborative partnerships with contractors who demonstrate reliability, quality control, and adherence to safety and regulatory standards. Spollen’s contracting activity reflects a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of her awards issued under non-set-aside authorities. This indicates a focus on full and open competition rather than socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs. While small business participation is not formally prioritized in her award patterns, she remains committed to fair and equitable procurement practices that comply with all applicable federal requirements. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 238210 (Electrical Contractors and Other Wiring Installation Contractors) and NAICS 331221 (Rolled Steel Shape Manufacturing). She regularly manages contracts for commercial and industrial electrical systems, including wiring, conduit, and panel installations, as well as the procurement of structural steel shapes used in construction and heavy machinery. Her expertise spans technical specifications for electrical code compliance and metallurgical standards for rolled steel, positioning her as a specialist in infrastructure and industrial supply chain acquisitions.
