Fabiola Palma-Trujillo

Fabiola Palma-Trujillo serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from requirement validation and solicitation development to contract award and administration. She plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and promoting transparent, competitive procurement practices. Her portfolio primarily encompasses construction, environmental services, laboratory testing, and industrial maintenance contracts, supporting mission-critical infrastructure and operational needs across federal programs. She is deeply engaged in crafting clear, well-defined statements of work and ensuring robust market research to support sound acquisition decisions. While specific contractor names are not available, her contracting patterns indicate consistent engagement with a diverse range of vendors, including both large prime contractors and small businesses capable of delivering specialized technical services. She fosters collaborative vendor relationships built on regulatory compliance, performance accountability, and timely contract modifications. Her approach emphasizes fair competition and clear communication, ensuring vendors understand expectations and deliverables throughout contract performance. Fabiola demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with nearly half of her acquisitions structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to expand economic opportunity and enhance vendor diversity, prioritizing small business eligibility without reliance on other socioeconomic categories such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB. Her set-aside preferences align with broader agency goals to increase small business contract awards while maintaining competitive integrity. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 237990 (Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction) and 541380 (Testing Laboratories and Services), with significant activity in commercial and industrial machinery repair (811310), basic organic chemical manufacturing (325199), and solid waste collection (562111). She brings specialized expertise in procuring complex engineering services, environmental testing, and industrial maintenance solutions, ensuring technical requirements are accurately defined and competitively sourced.
