Deborah E Aguirre

Deborah E. Aguirre serves as a Contracting Officer responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from requirements definition through contract award and administration. She plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and advancing agency mission objectives through strategic sourcing. Her portfolio encompasses complex procurements in communications technology, energy infrastructure, and business support services, often involving technical specifications requiring specialized vendor expertise. Aguirre’s approach emphasizes transparency, competitive bidding, and regulatory adherence, ensuring that acquisitions align with federal procurement integrity standards. While specific contractor names are not available, her contracting patterns reflect a balanced engagement with both large-capacity vendors and small businesses, fostering a competitive marketplace. She routinely manages contracts with firms possessing expertise in telecommunications equipment, power distribution systems, and operational support services, cultivating long-term vendor relationships grounded in performance accountability and compliance. Her procurement process prioritizes open competition while leveraging appropriate set-asides to expand market access for qualified small businesses. Aguirre demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with the majority of her awards (77.3%) issued under full and open competition without set-asides. However, she consistently reserves a significant portion of opportunities for small businesses, particularly through Total Small Business Set-Asides (13.6%), and actively supports HUBZone and Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) programs, each accounting for 4.5% of her awards. This pattern reflects a deliberate strategy to promote equitable access while maintaining acquisition efficiency. Her primary technical focus lies in NAICS 334220 (radio and television broadcasting and wireless communications equipment manufacturing), followed by electric power distribution (221122) and business support services (561499). She frequently procures mission-critical systems including radio frequency infrastructure, grid modernization components, and administrative support solutions, demonstrating deep familiarity with technical domains requiring specialized certification and regulatory compliance.
