Peg Folta

Peg Folta serves as a Program Manager responsible for overseeing the planning, execution, and administration of specialized construction and trade contracts within her organization. In this role, she ensures alignment between operational needs and federal acquisition regulations, guiding the procurement lifecycle from requirements definition through contract closeout. Her work is central to delivering mission-critical infrastructure and specialty trade services, with a focus on efficiency, compliance, and performance-based outcomes. She typically manages sole-source and competitive acquisitions for complex, non-residential specialty trade projects requiring technical oversight and stringent quality controls. Folta’s contractor relationships are primarily with firms specializing in specialty trade contracting, including electrical, plumbing, HVAC, and finish work contractors. While no single vendor dominates her portfolio, she engages with a broad base of qualified contractors who demonstrate proven technical capability, safety compliance, and delivery reliability. Her procurement approach emphasizes competitive bidding and vendor performance evaluations, fostering long-term partnerships with contractors who consistently meet or exceed contract specifications and schedule benchmarks. Folta’s contracting activity is entirely classified as “No Set-Aside,” reflecting a procurement strategy that prioritizes technical merit and full and open competition over socioeconomic preferences. This pattern indicates a focus on capability-driven selection rather than mandated set-asides for 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB firms. While she does not formally target small business participation through set-aside mechanisms, her emphasis on fair competition allows all eligible vendors—regardless of size—to compete on an equal footing based on technical qualifications and past performance. Her primary procurement focus is under NAICS 238990, All Other Specialty Trade Contractors, encompassing a wide range of niche construction services such as site preparation, specialty finishing, and custom installations. She specializes in acquisitions requiring precise craftsmanship, adherence to building codes, and integration with existing infrastructure. Her technical domain expertise lies in managing complex, multi-trade projects where coordination, sequencing, and quality assurance are critical to mission success.
