Georgetta C. Stonewall serves as a Contract Specialist within the USDA Agricultural Research Service’s Office of Acquisition and Procurement, where she plays a pivotal role in securing mission-critical resources to support scientific research operations. Her responsibilities include managing the full lifecycle of procurements for high-precision laboratory equipment, field infrastructure, and specialized technical services essential to agricultural and biological research. She ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while aligning acquisitions with the agency’s priorities in maintaining ultra-low-temperature freezers, micro-CT scanners, sterilization systems, and other advanced research infrastructure. Stonewall maintains established working relationships with a diverse base of contractors, including MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC for facility upgrades, LARKOS PACKING AND DISTRIBUTION INC. for logistics support, ARABIC INTERPRETERS LLC for language services, and AMD INTERNATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES LLC for technical instrumentation. Her procurement approach emphasizes reliability, technical competency, and timely delivery, fostering long-term partnerships with vendors capable of meeting the stringent operational demands of federal research environments. Her contracting patterns reflect a strong commitment to small business participation, with over 40% of awards directed toward small business set-asides, including 25.3% to Total Small Business Set-Asides and 15.6% to Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses. While the majority of procurements remain open to all competitors, she consistently prioritizes socioeconomic programs to expand opportunities for disadvantaged and veteran-owned enterprises. Her primary NAICS focus includes Architectural Services, Commercial Building Construction, and Plumbing, Heating, and Air-Conditioning Contractors, reflecting her work on research facility modernization. She also procures specialized services in animal food manufacturing and hay farming, demonstrating expertise in supporting both laboratory and field-based agricultural research missions.
