Sabrina Mathis

Sabrina A. Mathis serves as a Contract Specialist within the Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, where she plays a pivotal role in executing procurements that advance federal nutrition assistance programs including SNAP, WIC, and the National School Lunch Program. Her responsibilities encompass the full lifecycle of acquisition planning, solicitation development, source selection, and contract administration, ensuring compliance with FAR regulations and FNS’s mission to enhance program integrity and operational efficiency. She primarily manages service-based acquisitions supporting program evaluation, data analytics, policy research, and administrative modernization initiatives critical to evidence-based decision-making. While specific contractor names are not publicly disclosed, Mathis maintains collaborative relationships with a diverse pool of professional services vendors, including management consultants, social science researchers, and technical support firms. Her procurement approach emphasizes transparency, competitive bidding, and long-term vendor engagement to ensure high-quality deliverables aligned with FNS’s public health objectives. She routinely works with firms capable of delivering complex analytical services, stakeholder engagement strategies, and system optimization solutions. Mathis demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with a consistent preference for small business set-asides—50% of her acquisitions are designated for total small business participation, and 25% are reserved specifically for service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses (SDVOSBs). Her contracting patterns reflect a deliberate effort to expand opportunities for underserved businesses while maintaining rigorous performance standards. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS categories 561990 (All Other Support Services), 541618 (Other Management Consulting Services), and 541990 (All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services), with additional emphasis on 541720 (Research in Social Sciences) and 541613 (Marketing Consulting). She routinely procures services related to program evaluation, behavioral research, data-driven policy analysis, and stakeholder communication strategies to support FNS’s mission of equitable nutrition access.
