Cindy Chartier

Cindy A. Chartier serves as a Contracting Officer responsible for managing the acquisition of professional engineering services across federal programs. In this role, she ensures compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) while executing full and open competitions and targeted set-asides to meet agency mission needs. Her portfolio centers on technical procurement actions requiring specialized engineering expertise, including design, analysis, and systems integration services. Chartier plays a critical role in aligning acquisition strategy with operational requirements, ensuring timely delivery of high-quality engineering solutions through competitive, transparent processes. While specific contractor relationships are not publicly identifiable in available data, Chartier routinely engages with a diverse pool of qualified vendors, including large engineering firms and small business concerns capable of delivering complex technical services. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, clear statement of work development, and rigorous source selection under FAR Part 15. She maintains collaborative working relationships with industry stakeholders to foster innovation and ensure contract compliance throughout the lifecycle. Chartier demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with approximately one-third of her awards structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. While no other socioeconomic set-asides (such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB) are currently reflected in her award patterns, her consistent use of small business set-asides underscores a deliberate strategy to promote market access for qualified small entities. Her procurement decisions reflect a balanced approach between competition and socioeconomic goals. Her primary procurement focus is exclusively on NAICS 541330 — Engineering Services — encompassing civil, mechanical, electrical, and environmental engineering disciplines. She procures services related to infrastructure design, technical consulting, systems analysis, and project management support, requiring deep domain expertise in regulatory compliance, technical specifications, and performance metrics. Chartier’s expertise lies in translating complex engineering needs into well-defined solicitations that attract qualified, capable vendors.
