Patricia I Viglione

Patricia I. Viglione serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of procurement actions, from requirement validation and market research to contract award and administration. She plays a critical role in ensuring agency acquisitions align with federal procurement regulations and mission objectives, primarily supporting food and grocery supply chain needs. Her portfolio encompasses competitive solicitations under FAR Part 15 and simplified acquisition procedures, with a focus on commercial off-the-shelf food products and related logistics services. Viglione ensures compliance with statutory requirements while fostering transparency and efficiency in the acquisition process. While no specific contractor relationships are currently identifiable in the data, Viglione routinely engages with a diverse pool of vendors, including food manufacturers, wholesale distributors, and logistics providers, to meet operational demands. Her contracting approach emphasizes fair and open competition, with a preference for established commercial suppliers capable of delivering consistent quality and timely delivery. She maintains structured vendor engagement practices to ensure responsiveness and reliability across the supply base. Viglione’s procurement activity is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic decision to prioritize market-wide access and cost-effectiveness over socioeconomic set-asides, though she remains attentive to small business capabilities through inclusion in broad market research and solicitation outreach. Her approach aligns with agency priorities that emphasize efficiency and broad vendor participation rather than targeted socioeconomic programs. Her primary NAICS focus centers on food manufacturing and wholesale distribution, with significant activity in Commercial Bakeries (311812), Fluid Milk Manufacturing (311511), and General Line Grocery Merchant Wholesalers (424410). She specializes in procuring perishable and shelf-stable food products, including baked goods, dairy items, and packaged grocery supplies, requiring deep understanding of food safety standards, cold chain logistics, and FDA compliance. Her expertise lies in navigating the intersection of commercial food production and federal procurement requirements.
