Nydia N. Sagna

Nydia Sagna serves as a Small Business Specialist, dedicated to advancing federal procurement goals through robust small business engagement and equitable contracting opportunities. In this role, she ensures that small business concerns are integrated into every phase of the acquisition lifecycle—from market research and solicitation design to contract award and performance monitoring. Her work directly supports the agency’s mission to maximize participation by small, disadvantaged, and socioeconomically disadvantaged firms, particularly in professional and technical services. She typically handles complex, non-construction acquisitions requiring specialized expertise, often involving consulting, research, and technical support services. While specific contractor names are not publicly available, Nydia fosters strong partnerships with a broad network of small business contractors, including those certified under 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, and WOSB programs. Her working relationships are characterized by proactive outreach, mentorship, and collaboration with small business development centers and procurement technical assistance providers. She consistently encourages vendor participation through targeted outreach, pre-solicitation events, and clear communication of requirements, ensuring that small businesses are well-positioned to compete fairly. Nydia maintains a 100% commitment to Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, reflecting an unwavering dedication to socioeconomic contracting goals. She prioritizes opportunities for small businesses as the default procurement strategy, avoiding full and open competition unless explicitly justified. Her approach aligns with federal mandates to create pathways for underrepresented firms, emphasizing transparency, fairness, and measurable small business outcomes across all assigned acquisitions. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541990, encompassing a wide array of professional, scientific, and technical services—including management consulting, analytical research, and technical advisory support. She also regularly engages with American Indian and Alaska Native Tribal Governments under NAICS 921150, facilitating contracts that support tribal self-governance and capacity-building. Her technical domain expertise centers on non-clinical, policy-driven services that enhance operational efficiency and program delivery across federal initiatives.
