Christine J. Stewart

Christine J. Stewart serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from requirement validation and market research through solicitation, evaluation, award, and contract administration. She plays a pivotal role in ensuring compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and supports her agency’s mission by delivering essential services through transparent, competitive procurement processes. Her portfolio primarily encompasses non-defense, facility-support services, with a focus on industrial laundering, household and office goods moving, and specialized textile product manufacturing. She routinely coordinates with program managers and legal counsel to align contracting actions with operational needs and regulatory requirements. Christine cultivates collaborative relationships with a diverse base of vendors, including small businesses, 8(a) certified firms, and experienced service providers in the logistics and textile industries. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, she consistently engages with firms capable of delivering scalable, quality-assured services under performance-based contract structures. Her working relationships are characterized by proactive communication, clear performance metrics, and a focus on vendor accountability through robust contract management practices. She demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, allocating equal portions of her acquisitions to total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5 and 8(a) competed contracts, with a notable 40% of her portfolio reserved for small businesses and another 20% awarded through the 8(a) program. This balanced approach reflects a deliberate strategy to foster equitable access to federal opportunities while maintaining competition and value. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 812332 (Industrial Launderers), NAICS 484210 (Used Household and Office Goods Moving), and NAICS 314999 (All Other Miscellaneous Textile Product Mills). She specializes in acquiring laundry and linen services, relocation and moving logistics for institutional and government assets, and custom textile products for operational use, demonstrating deep familiarity with the technical and compliance demands of these niche sectors.
