Erin K. Pavlick

Erin K. Pavlick serves as a procurement professional responsible for managing a diverse portfolio of service-based acquisitions, with a strong emphasis on socioeconomic contracting and small business inclusion. She plays a critical role in executing the agency’s mission to secure essential operational support services while prioritizing equitable access for disadvantaged businesses. Her acquisitions typically involve non-defense, facility-support contracts, including cleaning, laundry, drycleaning, and specialized logistics support, often structured as task orders under indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) vehicles or simplified acquisition procedures. Pavlick’s approach aligns with federal best practices in performance-based acquisition and outcome-driven contracting. While specific contractor names are not publicly identifiable, Pavlick maintains consistent relationships with a broad network of small business vendors, particularly those certified under the 8(a) Business Development Program. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for competed 8(a) set-asides, indicating a deliberate strategy to foster long-term vendor development and competitive small business participation. She routinely engages with firms holding SBA certifications, ensuring compliance with socioeconomic goals while maintaining rigorous performance standards and contract oversight. Pavlick demonstrates a pronounced commitment to small business participation, with 60% of her awards designated for 8(a) competed set-asides, signaling a strategic focus on empowering economically disadvantaged entrepreneurs. The remaining 40% of her acquisitions are conducted without set-aside, typically when full and open competition yields superior value or when services require specialized capabilities not yet widely available among certified firms. Her contracting patterns reflect a balanced approach to compliance, competition, and capacity building within the small business community. Her primary procurement focus centers on NAICS 561720 (Janitorial Services), 812320 (Drycleaning and Laundry Services), 488190 (Other Support Activities for Air Transportation), and 337211 (Wood Office Furniture Manufacturing). This specialization reveals expertise in facility services, logistics support, and institutional furnishings—domains requiring precise specification development, performance metrics, and supply chain coordination. Pavlick’s technical proficiency spans contract administration for both service delivery and light manufacturing, ensuring alignment with federal standards for quality, timeliness, and cost-effectiveness.
