Ronette C. McBean

Ronette C. McBean serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from requirements development through contract award and administration. She plays a pivotal role in advancing her agency’s mission by ensuring compliant, efficient, and transparent procurement processes that align with federal regulations under the FAR. Her portfolio primarily encompasses construction and professional services contracts, with a strong emphasis on commercial and institutional building construction, architectural design, and roofing services. McBean’s expertise lies in structuring solicitations that balance technical rigor with socioeconomic objectives, ensuring that procurements meet both operational needs and federal small business goals. Her contractor relationships are built around a diverse ecosystem of small businesses, particularly those certified under socioeconomic programs. She regularly engages with HUBZone, 8(a), and Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business contractors, fostering long-term partnerships that support community economic development and contractor capacity building. McBean’s procurement approach emphasizes fair competition and meaningful small business inclusion, creating opportunities for firms with limited access to federal markets while maintaining high standards of performance and accountability. A strong advocate for small business participation, McBean consistently prioritizes set-asides, with nearly 60% of her acquisitions designated for total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. HUBZone set-asides account for nearly a third of her awards, while 8(a) competed and SDVOSB set-asides reflect a deliberate strategy to promote equitable access and socioeconomic diversity in contracting. Her pattern of award distribution underscores a sustained commitment to federal small business policy and inclusive procurement practices. Her technical focus centers on NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), 541310 (Architectural Services), and 238160 (Roofing Contractors), reflecting deep expertise in facility infrastructure and building envelope systems. She routinely procures design-build services, construction management, and specialized roofing solutions, demonstrating proficiency in managing complex, multi-disciplinary projects that require coordination between architects, engineers, and trade contractors.
