Loisann M. Huey

Loisann M. Huey serves as a Contracting Specialist responsible for managing the acquisition of precision fasteners and related hardware components essential to federal infrastructure and industrial operations. In this role, she ensures compliance with federal procurement regulations while executing full-cycle contracting actions—from market research and solicitation development to award and contract administration. Her work directly supports mission-critical supply chain needs by securing reliable, high-quality manufacturing capabilities through competitive and transparent processes. She primarily handles firm-fixed-price contracts for industrial components, emphasizing technical specifications, quality assurance, and delivery performance standards. Loisann cultivates relationships with a broad base of manufacturers specializing in bolt, nut, screw, rivet, and washer production, fostering a competitive environment that promotes innovation and supply chain resilience. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, she consistently engages with both large-scale industrial suppliers and specialized small manufacturers capable of meeting exacting military and federal specifications. Her approach emphasizes vendor reliability, adherence to ASTM and SAE standards, and timely fulfillment, ensuring continuity of supply for defense, transportation, and public works programs. Her contracting pattern reflects a strong preference for unrestricted, non-set-aside acquisitions, with 100% of her awards issued under general competition. This indicates a focus on technical capability and cost-effectiveness over socioeconomic preferences, aligning with the specialized nature of her procurement domain where certified small business participation is not a primary driver due to the industrial character of the market. Loisann’s expertise is narrowly focused on NAICS 332722—Bolt, Nut, Screw, Rivet, and Washer Manufacturing—where she procures standardized and custom-engineered fastening systems used in heavy machinery, aerospace, transportation, and construction applications. She possesses deep familiarity with material specifications, thread standards, plating requirements, and inspection protocols, ensuring that all acquired components meet stringent federal quality and safety benchmarks. Her technical acumen enables her to effectively evaluate manufacturer capabilities and enforce compliance with applicable federal standards.
