Paula L Naranjo

Paula L. Naranjo serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from requirement validation and market research through solicitation, evaluation, award, and contract administration. Her role is central to ensuring compliance with federal procurement regulations, including the FAR and agency-specific policies, while supporting efficient and transparent acquisition outcomes. She primarily handles administrative and operational support services, focusing on high-volume, low-complexity procurements that sustain day-to-day government functions. Her expertise lies in streamlining acquisition processes to meet mission-critical needs while maintaining rigorous standards for fairness, competition, and accountability. Paula collaborates with a broad range of vendors providing office administrative services, including firms specializing in clerical support, records management, document processing, and facility services. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, she consistently engages with both large-capacity service providers and small businesses capable of delivering scalable, cost-effective administrative solutions. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for full and open competition, with minimal reliance on sole-source or limited-source justifications, indicating a strong commitment to open market access and competitive bidding practices. Paula’s procurement activity is entirely aligned with non-set-aside acquisitions, reflecting a 100% focus on full and open competition without the use of 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or other socioeconomic set-asides. This pattern suggests her acquisitions are structured around standardized, widely available administrative services where socioeconomic preferences are not applied, either due to market saturation, lack of qualified certified firms, or mission-driven prioritization of competition over socioeconomic targeting. Her primary NAICS code focus—561110, Office Administrative Services—indicates deep specialization in procuring clerical, data entry, filing, scheduling, and general office support functions. She routinely manages contracts for services such as mail handling, transcription, customer service support, and records retention, demonstrating technical familiarity with the operational demands of federal administrative infrastructure. Her expertise ensures that essential back-office functions are efficiently sourced to sustain agency operations.
