Rosemary A Graeber

Rosemary A. Graeber serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from requirements definition and market research through solicitation, evaluation, award, and contract administration. She plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and supports her agency’s mission by delivering essential goods and services through transparent, competitive procurement processes. Her portfolio primarily includes complex acquisitions in transportation infrastructure and facility services, requiring detailed technical specifications and rigorous source selection procedures under sealed bid and negotiated contract methodologies. While specific contractor names are not available, Ms. Graeber maintains relationships with a diverse pool of vendors, including both large prime contractors and small business subcontractors, fostering competition and ensuring compliance with socioeconomic goals. Her procurement patterns reflect a balanced approach, engaging established industry players alongside qualified small businesses to meet operational needs while promoting market fairness and innovation. Ms. Graeber demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with approximately one-third of her acquisitions structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to increase opportunities for small businesses without the use of more specialized set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs. Her approach prioritizes broad-based small business inclusion, aligning with agency-wide goals to enhance economic opportunity and supplier diversity. Her primary procurement focus centers on NAICS 336120 (Heavy Duty Truck Manufacturing) and NAICS 561790 (Other Services to Buildings and Dwellings), indicating expertise in acquiring specialized vehicle fleets and facility support services such as maintenance, cleaning, and grounds management. She brings technical proficiency in evaluating vehicle specifications, lifecycle cost analyses, and performance-based service contracts, ensuring that acquisitions meet operational readiness standards while maintaining fiscal accountability and regulatory compliance.
