Charmaine Scruggs-Robinson serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of acquisition actions within a federal education and workforce development context. She ensures compliance with federal procurement regulations, including FAR and DFARS, while executing solicitations, evaluating proposals, and administering contracts to support training and educational services. Her role is central to advancing the agency’s mission of expanding access to technical and trade education through strategic sourcing. She typically handles competitive and non-competitive acquisitions for professional development programs, curriculum design, and instructional support services, emphasizing transparency, fairness, and regulatory integrity. While specific contractor names are not available, Charmaine maintains consistent engagement with vendors specializing in postsecondary technical education delivery. Her procurement patterns reflect collaboration with a diverse pool of service providers, including educational institutions, training consultants, and curriculum developers, many of whom possess expertise in workforce readiness programs. She fosters collaborative relationships grounded in clear performance metrics and contractual compliance, ensuring contractors meet the educational outcomes required by federal standards. Charmaine demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with nearly 29% of her acquisitions structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to promote economic opportunity and broaden vendor participation among small businesses without additional socioeconomic preferences such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides. Her approach prioritizes accessibility and competition within the small business community, aligning with broader federal goals to increase equitable contracting opportunities. Her procurement focus is exclusively concentrated on NAICS 611519—Other Technical and Trade Schools—indicating deep specialization in acquiring vocational, career, and trade-based education services. She procures curriculum development, instructor services, hands-on training programs, and related educational support systems tailored to workforce development initiatives. Her technical domain expertise lies in aligning instructional delivery with industry-recognized standards, ensuring that contracted services directly support national workforce readiness objectives.
