Laurie D Gambert

Laurie D. Gambert serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from market research and solicitation development to contract award and administration. Her role is central to ensuring compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and advancing mission-critical procurement objectives within her organization. She typically handles complex procurements for specialized manufacturing and communications equipment, focusing on technical goods requiring precise performance specifications and supply chain reliability. Her expertise spans competitive bidding, source selection, and post-award contract management, ensuring transparency, fairness, and regulatory adherence across all phases of the acquisition process. While specific contractor names are not publicly identifiable, Gambert maintains consistent working relationships with a broad base of manufacturers and suppliers capable of meeting stringent technical and quality standards. Her procurement patterns reflect engagement with both large industrial firms and small businesses possessing niche capabilities in electronics, mechanical components, and precision fabrication. She fosters collaborative vendor partnerships grounded in performance accountability, timely delivery, and adherence to technical documentation requirements. Gambert’s contracting portfolio demonstrates a strong preference for open competition, with 89.2% of awards issued under non-set-aside conditions. However, she actively supports small business participation, consistently allocating 10.8% of acquisitions to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. Her approach reflects a balanced commitment to maximizing competition while ensuring meaningful opportunities for qualified small businesses, though she does not routinely utilize specialized socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs. Her primary industry focus lies in miscellaneous manufacturing (NAICS 339999), with significant activity in radio and television broadcasting equipment (334220), engine equipment (333618), and metal valve and pipe fittings (332919). She also regularly procures semiconductor and related devices (334413), indicating deep technical familiarity with electronic systems and communication hardware. Her expertise centers on acquiring complex, engineered products requiring rigorous testing, certification, and compliance with industry-specific standards.
