Margarette Boosahda

Margarette Boosahda serves as a procurement specialist focused on education and workforce development initiatives, primarily managing acquisitions for technical and trade education services. Her role centers on ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations while aligning contracting activities with national workforce training objectives. She handles a range of contract types—including requirements contracts, indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) vehicles, and service-based task orders—primarily for curriculum development, instructional support, and vocational training infrastructure. Her work directly supports the agency’s mission to expand access to skilled labor pipelines through targeted educational programming. While no specific contractor relationships are currently identifiable in the data, her procurement patterns indicate a consistent engagement with firms capable of delivering non-degree workforce training solutions, including curriculum design, simulator technology, and adult learning platform integration. She typically collaborates with vendors offering scalable, outcomes-based education services, often requiring performance metrics tied to job placement and certification attainment. Her contracting approach emphasizes transparency, competitive bidding, and vendor performance accountability. Margarette maintains a strong preference for unrestricted, open competition, with 100% of her acquisitions awarded without set-aside designations. This reflects a strategic focus on maximizing vendor participation from the broadest possible pool, prioritizing capability and cost-effectiveness over socioeconomic categorization. While she does not routinely utilize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, her process remains fully compliant with all small business outreach and reporting requirements under the Federal Acquisition Regulation. Her primary procurement focus is concentrated in NAICS 611519—Other Technical and Trade Schools—indicating deep specialization in non-degree vocational and career-technical education services. She procures a range of offerings including apprenticeship program management, industry-aligned certification preparation, lab equipment procurement, and digital learning systems tailored to skilled trades such as welding, electrical installation, and advanced manufacturing. Her domain expertise lies in aligning educational outcomes with labor market demands, ensuring acquired services directly support national workforce readiness goals.
