Cindy Starr

Cindy L. Starr serves as a Procurement Analyst responsible for supporting the planning, solicitation, and award of federal acquisitions across critical infrastructure and aerospace domains. In this role, she ensures compliance with federal procurement regulations, including the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), and contributes to the development of acquisition strategies that align with agency mission objectives. Her work involves drafting request for proposals, evaluating technical and cost proposals, and coordinating with program managers to define requirements. Starr specializes in complex, multi-disciplinary procurements that require precise technical specifications and rigorous source selection processes, often involving construction and specialized manufacturing sectors. While specific contractor names are not available, Starr engages with a diverse pool of vendors, including both large prime contractors and small businesses capable of delivering specialized framing services and aircraft component manufacturing. Her procurement patterns reflect a balanced approach to vendor engagement, fostering competitive bidding environments while ensuring technical capability and regulatory compliance. She maintains collaborative relationships with industry stakeholders to clarify solicitation requirements and promote transparency throughout the acquisition lifecycle. Starr demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with equal weighting given to total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5 and unrestricted procurements. This balanced approach underscores her dedication to expanding market access for small businesses without compromising acquisition flexibility. Her consistent use of small business set-asides reflects a strategic intent to cultivate a resilient, diverse supplier base aligned with federal socioeconomic goals. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 238130 (Framing Contractors) and 336413 (Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing). She regularly handles acquisitions for structural construction elements and non-airframe aerospace components, requiring deep technical understanding of building codes, aerospace quality standards, and supply chain logistics. Starr’s expertise spans both civil infrastructure and defense-related manufacturing, positioning her as a key liaison between technical requirements and commercial capability.
