Malinda E. Rogers

Malinda E. Rogers serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from requirements development and market research through solicitation, evaluation, award, and contract administration. She plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and advancing agency mission objectives through strategic sourcing. Her portfolio primarily encompasses construction, manufacturing, and technical services contracts, with a strong emphasis on competitive procedures and transparent procurement practices. Rogers works closely with program managers and technical evaluators to align contracting strategies with operational needs, ensuring timely and lawful delivery of goods and services. Her contractor relationships span a diverse base of vendors, particularly those specializing in roofing, civil infrastructure, and fabricated metal products. She regularly engages with both large prime contractors and small business subcontractors, fostering collaborative partnerships that emphasize performance, compliance, and accountability. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, her procurement patterns reflect a balanced approach to vendor engagement, prioritizing competitive bidding and performance-based outcomes across multiple sectors. Rogers demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with nearly 52% of her awards structured as set-asides for small businesses. She frequently utilizes 8(a) competed set-asides and Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, reflecting a deliberate strategy to expand opportunities for disadvantaged and small business concerns. Her approach aligns with federal goals to promote equitable access to government contracting while maintaining rigorous standards for vendor capability and past performance. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 238160 (Roofing Contractors) and 237310 (Highway, Street, and Bridge Construction), with significant activity in paint and coating manufacturing (325510) and miscellaneous fabricated metal products (332999). She also procures specialized technical services under 541519, indicating expertise in both physical infrastructure and IT-enabled support services. This technical breadth underscores her ability to manage complex, multi-disciplinary acquisitions across construction and manufacturing domains.
