Erica Nowicki

Erica Nowicki serves as an Administrative Sales Contracting Officer, responsible for managing the acquisition of commercial goods and services through streamlined procurement pathways such as GSA Schedules and other simplified acquisition procedures. Her role is central to ensuring timely, compliant, and cost-effective procurement of essential materials to support federal operations. She specializes in non-complex, off-the-shelf purchases requiring minimal technical evaluation, often utilizing FAR Part 13 procedures to expedite delivery while maintaining regulatory integrity. Her acquisitions are primarily transactional in nature, emphasizing efficiency, market research, and vendor compliance. Erica maintains a broad network of commercial suppliers, particularly those offering recyclable materials and prefabricated metal building components. She works regularly with merchant wholesalers and manufacturers who are registered in federal systems and possess the necessary certifications for government sales. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for established commercial vendors with proven track records in delivering standardized products under firm-fixed-price terms. She prioritizes vendors who demonstrate reliability, transparent pricing, and adherence to federal delivery and reporting requirements. Her contracting portfolio is entirely focused on open competition, with 100% of her acquisitions conducted without set-asides. This reflects a strategic alignment with the commercial market’s structure for the categories she manages, where broad vendor participation ensures competitive pricing and supply chain resilience. While she does not prioritize socioeconomic programs such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB, her process remains fully compliant with all small business participation goals, and she actively considers qualified small businesses when they meet the technical and commercial requirements of the solicitation. Erica’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 423930 (Recyclable Material Merchant Wholesalers), where she acquires bulk recyclable commodities such as metals, paper, and plastics for reuse or disposal programs. She also regularly procures prefabricated metal building systems under NAICS 332311, including structural components and modular units for facility support. Her expertise centers on commercial-grade materials with standardized specifications, requiring deep familiarity with material certifications, shipping logistics, and federal inventory compliance standards.
