Felma Robertson

Felma Robertson serves as a Contracting Officer responsible for managing the acquisition of specialized instrumentation used in the measurement and testing of electricity and electrical signals. In this role, she ensures compliance with federal procurement regulations while delivering mission-critical technical solutions that support national infrastructure, research, and defense applications. Her acquisitions are primarily sole-source or competitive sealed bids under FAR Part 15, with a strong emphasis on technical evaluation, performance-based contracting, and risk mitigation in high-precision instrument procurement. She plays a pivotal role in aligning procurement strategy with operational requirements for advanced electrical measurement systems. Robertson works with a focused network of manufacturers and engineering firms specializing in precision test and measurement equipment, including suppliers of oscilloscopes, signal analyzers, calibration systems, and embedded sensor interfaces. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for established vendors with proven technical capabilities, ISO 9001 certification, and experience in defense or federal-grade instrumentation. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, she consistently engages with firms possessing deep domain expertise in electrical signal processing and laboratory-grade instrumentation, fostering long-term vendor partnerships built on quality assurance and technical compliance. Robertson’s contracting activity is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of her awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic decision to prioritize technical capability and performance over socioeconomic preferences, ensuring access to the most advanced and reliable instrumentation available in the marketplace. While she does not routinely utilize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, her approach remains fully compliant with all socioeconomic contracting mandates, and she actively evaluates small business submissions on merit when they meet stringent technical thresholds. Her primary procurement focus is NAICS 334515—Instrument Manufacturing for Measuring and Testing Electricity and Electrical Signals. She specializes in acquiring high-accuracy test equipment, automated calibration systems, and data acquisition hardware used in aerospace, power grid monitoring, and telecommunications testing. Her technical expertise lies in evaluating specifications for resolution, bandwidth, traceability, and NIST-certified calibration, ensuring all procured systems meet federal metrology and reliability standards.
