Monique Paano

Monique Paano is a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the acquisition process and ensuring procurement integrity within her agency. In this role, she facilitates the procurement mission by overseeing the solicitation and award of contracts, ensuring that agency requirements are met through compliant and efficient contracting vehicles. Regarding set-aside preferences, the procurement patterns indicate a significant utilization of full and open competitions, with no set-aside requirements applied to the majority of actions. However, there is a clear commitment to small business participation, with nearly a third of acquisitions designated as Total Small Business Set-Asides and a smaller percentage specifically allocated to Women-Owned Small Businesses. Her procurement activity is heavily concentrated in the construction and industrial sectors. The primary focus is on Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction, complemented by specialized requirements for instruments and related products manufacturing for measuring, displaying, and controlling industrial process variables. Additional technical expertise is evident in the procurement of power and communication line structures, specialty trade contracting, and various services related to buildings and dwellings.
