Rhonda G. Sulsar

Rhonda G. Sulsar serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of complex procurement actions within her organization, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and aligning acquisitions with mission-critical infrastructure and engineering objectives. She handles competitive and non-competitive contracts for high-stakes civil engineering and professional services, often coordinating with technical evaluators, legal counsel, and program managers to deliver mission-ready solutions. Her role is central to the agency’s procurement integrity, emphasizing transparency, fair competition, and timely contract execution to support public works and engineering initiatives. Rhonda maintains a broad network of qualified contractors specializing in heavy civil construction and professional engineering services. While no single vendor dominates her portfolio, she routinely engages with firms possessing demonstrated capability in infrastructure development, structural design, and systems integration. Her contracting approach prioritizes open competition and vendor performance history, fostering long-term relationships with contractors who consistently meet technical, schedule, and compliance standards. She actively encourages new entrants into the marketplace through clear solicitation language and accessible pre-solicitation outreach. Rhonda’s procurement patterns reflect a strong preference for unrestricted competition, with 100% of her awards issued under the “No Set-Aside” category. This indicates a strategic focus on selecting the most technically capable and cost-effective offerors regardless of socioeconomic status, rather than reserving awards for specific small business categories. While she does not prioritize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, her process remains fully compliant with all small business participation requirements and encourages broad market access. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 237990 (Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction) and 541330 (Engineering Services), reflecting deep expertise in transportation, water resources, and public infrastructure projects. She procures services ranging from geotechnical analysis and structural design to construction management and environmental compliance, demonstrating technical fluency in civil engineering standards and federal construction protocols.
