Rebecca Gardner

Rebecca Gardner serves as a Contracting Officer responsible for managing complex procurements across technical and construction-related domains. She plays a critical role in executing the agency’s acquisition strategy by ensuring compliance with federal contracting regulations, including FAR Part 19 and competitive solicitation protocols. Her portfolio primarily consists of service-based and specialized equipment acquisitions, with a strong emphasis on engineering, instrumentation, and building systems contracting. Gardner ensures acquisitions are competitively sourced, properly scoped, and aligned with mission-critical operational needs, often coordinating with technical evaluators and program managers to define performance requirements and evaluation criteria. While specific contractor names are not available, Gardner maintains a broad network of vendors specializing in mechanical, electrical, and instrumentation systems. Her procurement patterns reflect a preference for established contractors with demonstrated technical capability in regulated environments, particularly those experienced in delivering turnkey solutions for facility infrastructure and precision measurement systems. She engages both large primes and small business subcontractors, fostering collaborative supply chains through clear solicitation language and post-award performance oversight. Gardner exhibits a strong commitment to small business participation, with nearly 18% of her awards structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. While the majority of her acquisitions remain open to all competitors, her consistent use of small business set-asides signals a deliberate effort to expand market access for qualified small businesses without compromising technical rigor. She does not appear to prioritize other socioeconomic categories such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB, instead focusing on broad small business eligibility under the general set-aside framework. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 238220 (Plumbing, Heating, and Air-Conditioning Contractors), 334515 (Instrument Manufacturing for Electrical Signals), and 334513 (Industrial Process Control Instruments), reflecting deep expertise in facility systems and precision measurement technologies. She regularly procures HVAC integration, calibration services, industrial sensors, and control instrumentation, demonstrating specialized knowledge in technical specifications, test protocols, and lifecycle maintenance requirements for mission-critical systems.
