Samantha Williamson

Samantha Williamson serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from market research and solicitation development to contract award and administration. She plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) while advancing mission-critical procurement objectives. Her portfolio primarily encompasses technical goods and specialized training services, with a focus on procurement processes that emphasize transparency, competition, and regulatory adherence. She routinely handles complex solicitations involving electronic equipment, communications systems, and professional development solutions, often coordinating with technical evaluators and program managers to align contract requirements with operational needs. While specific contractor names are not available, her contracting patterns indicate consistent engagement with manufacturers of audio-visual, radio and television communications, and motor-generator equipment, as well as training providers delivering professional and management development services. Her working relationships reflect a preference for established industrial vendors with demonstrated technical capability, alongside a strong emphasis on small business participation. She fosters collaborative vendor partnerships through clear solicitation language, pre-solicitation outreach, and post-award performance monitoring to ensure quality and timeliness. Samantha demonstrates a notable commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with 81.3% of her awards issued under open competition and 18.8% designated as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a strategic balance between maximizing competition and actively promoting small business inclusion without reliance on specialized set-asides like 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB. Her approach prioritizes broad small business access while maintaining rigorous technical standards. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 334310 (audio and video equipment manufacturing), 332439 (metal container manufacturing), and 334220 (radio and telecommunications equipment manufacturing), with secondary activity in motor and generator manufacturing (335312) and professional training (611430). This specialization underscores her expertise in procuring electromechanical systems, communication hardware, and workforce development services for technical and operational environments.
