Rachel Carria Gaspard

Rachel Carria Gaspard serves as a procurement professional responsible for managing complex acquisition programs across commercial construction, industrial manufacturing, and security services. Her role centers on executing full lifecycle contracting processes—from market research and solicitation development to award and contract administration—ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and mission-critical delivery timelines. She primarily handles fixed-price and performance-based contracts for infrastructure and industrial support, aligning acquisitions with strategic operational needs across diverse technical domains. Her work supports the agency’s broader mission to secure reliable, high-quality goods and services through transparent, competitive procurement practices. Gaspard maintains a broad network of contractors spanning general construction, specialized manufacturing, and security services, engaging both large prime contractors and niche specialty firms. She consistently pursues competitive bidding environments, fostering relationships with vendors capable of delivering technical precision in building construction, glass manufacturing, and aircraft component integration. Her contracting approach emphasizes vendor performance metrics, quality assurance protocols, and post-award oversight to ensure deliverables meet stringent technical and safety standards. Gaspard’s procurement portfolio reflects a strong preference for unrestricted competitions, with 100% of her awards issued under the “No Set-Aside” category. This indicates a focus on open competition based on technical merit and cost-effectiveness rather than socioeconomic set-asides. While she does not prioritize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs, her approach ensures broad market access and fosters a level playing field for all qualified offerors, consistent with agency-wide objectives for efficiency and value. Her primary industry focus lies in Commercial and Institutional Building Construction (NAICS 236220), where she manages acquisitions for facility upgrades and maintenance. She also procures flat glass products (327211), aircraft components (336411), and security patrol services (561612), demonstrating expertise in both physical infrastructure and operational support domains. Her technical proficiency spans building systems integration, industrial material specifications, and security service standards, making her a key liaison between engineering requirements and contract execution.
