Monica M Roberts

Monica M. Roberts serves as a procurement professional responsible for managing complex acquisitions within the textile and fabric manufacturing sector. Her role centers on executing competitive contracting actions that align with federal acquisition regulations, ensuring timely delivery of mission-critical textile products. She handles a diverse portfolio of contracts governed by FAR Part 12 and Part 13, with a strong emphasis on commercial item procurement and streamlined acquisition procedures. Roberts plays a pivotal role in translating operational needs into precise solicitation requirements, ensuring technical specifications meet agency standards while maintaining compliance with socioeconomic objectives. Her contracting patterns reflect a deliberate and consistent preference for small business participation, with over half of her awards designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. She frequently utilizes HUBZone set-asides, demonstrating a targeted commitment to economically distressed communities. While no set-aside is applied in approximately one-third of her actions, her overall pattern reveals a strategic balance between open competition and intentional socioeconomic contracting, fostering equitable access for qualified small vendors. Roberts’ procurement focus is narrowly concentrated in two NAICS categories: 313320 (Fabric Coating Mills) and 313210 (Broadwoven Fabric Mills). She primarily acquires specialized coated textiles, industrial-grade woven fabrics, and performance materials used in defense, aerospace, and public safety applications. Her technical expertise lies in evaluating material specifications such as flame resistance, tensile strength, and chemical durability, ensuring vendor offerings meet stringent federal performance standards. Her working relationships are built with a network of small and mid-sized manufacturers specializing in textile finishing, laminating, and precision weaving. She consistently engages with vendors holding HUBZone and small business certifications, cultivating long-term partnerships that enhance supply chain resilience and innovation within the domestic textile industry.
