Charlotte Pagaduan

Charlotte Pagaduan operates within a procurement environment characterized by a strong commitment to small business participation and specialized industrial manufacturing acquisitions. The agency demonstrates a significant preference for small business set-asides, with the vast majority of procurement activity falling under Total Small Business Set-Aside (FAR 19.5) designations. Additionally, the office utilizes 8(a) sole-source contracting to meet specific socioeconomic goals, while a small minority of acquisitions are conducted without set-aside restrictions. The procurement focus is heavily concentrated in the industrial and metal fabrication sectors. Primary technical domains include the manufacturing of bolts, nuts, screws, rivets, and washers, as well as miscellaneous electrical equipment and components. Further expertise is evident in the acquisition of metal valves, pipe fittings, and other miscellaneous fabricated metal products, alongside iron and steel mills and ferroalloy manufacturing.
