Lori L Fixico

Lori L. Fixico 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. She plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and supporting mission-critical procurement objectives through transparent, competitive processes. Her portfolio primarily encompasses technical and industrial goods, including specialized instrumentation, aerospace components, and fabricated metal products, often requiring detailed technical specifications and rigorous source selection procedures. Fixico’s work supports the agency’s broader goal of acquiring high-integrity, mission-ready equipment while maintaining fiscal accountability and regulatory adherence. While specific contractor names are not available, Fixico engages with a diverse pool of vendors, including both large-tier manufacturers and small businesses capable of meeting stringent technical requirements. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for open competition, with a majority of actions conducted under full and open procedures. She maintains professional relationships with suppliers possessing ISO certifications, ITAR compliance, and relevant quality management systems, ensuring products meet federal performance and security standards. Fixico demonstrates a measured commitment to small business participation, with 16% of her acquisitions structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. While she does not routinely employ specialized socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB, her consistent use of small business set-asides reflects a deliberate effort to foster competition among qualified small manufacturers. Her approach balances socioeconomic goals with the technical demands of the acquisitions she manages. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 334515 (instrument manufacturing for electrical measurement), 334513 (industrial process control instrumentation), 336413 (aircraft components), and 332999 (miscellaneous fabricated metal products). These categories reflect expertise in procuring precision test equipment, avionics subsystems, and custom-engineered metal components used in defense, aerospace, and industrial applications. Fixico’s technical acumen enables her to effectively evaluate complex bids and ensure vendor capability aligns with mission-critical performance requirements.
