Paige Thompson

Paige Thompson manages procurement activities with a focus on technical and industrial acquisitions. Their role involves overseeing the acquisition lifecycle to support the agency's operational and research requirements. Regarding set-aside preferences, there is a strong commitment to small business participation. Half of the procurement activity is designated as Total Small Business Set-Asides, while another portion is reserved for 100% small business competition. Approximately one third of the acquisitions are conducted without a set-aside. The primary industry focus is centered on industrial manufacturing and technical services. Procurement patterns show a heavy emphasis on Industrial Valve Manufacturing, complemented by significant activity in research and development within the physical, engineering, and life sciences, as well as other computer-related services.
