Cynthia Weaver

Cynthia Weaver serves as a key procurement lead within the GSA Federal Acquisition Service’s FAS AAS FedSim division, where she manages mission-critical acquisitions of specialized professional and technical services essential to national infrastructure and defense readiness. Her work centers on enabling secure, scalable, and modernized operational environments through the procurement of research and development services in physical, engineering, and life sciences. She oversees the full lifecycle of complex contract actions—from market research and solicitation development to award and performance monitoring—ensuring alignment with federal acquisition regulations and strategic agency priorities in IT modernization and advanced logistics management. Weaver maintains a broad network of qualified industry partners, primarily engaging with firms possessing deep technical expertise in scientific research, systems engineering, and analytical services. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, she consistently collaborates with a diverse pool of high-capability vendors capable of delivering mission-critical R&D outcomes under time-sensitive, high-stakes conditions. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for performance-based, outcome-driven agreements that emphasize innovation, compliance, and accountability. Weaver’s procurement approach is non-set-aside focused, with 100% of her acquisitions conducted under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic emphasis on technical excellence and capability over socioeconomic preferences, ensuring the selection of the most qualified entities to meet complex federal mission requirements. While small business participation is not formally prioritized in her portfolio, all vendors are evaluated on merit, technical capability, and past performance. Her primary focus is on NAICS 541715, encompassing research and development in the physical, engineering, and life sciences. She procures advanced analytical tools, modeling and simulation services, test and evaluation support, and engineering consulting solutions critical to sustaining federal scientific infrastructure and national security readiness. Her domain expertise lies at the intersection of scientific inquiry and government operational needs, ensuring that R&D investments directly translate into actionable, mission-critical capabilities.
