Sandra J. Frost

Sandra J. Frost serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from requirements determination and solicitation development to contract award and administration. She plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and supports the agency’s mission by delivering essential fabricated metal, rubber, and plastic components through transparent, competitive processes. Her acquisitions typically involve industrial manufacturing goods, including valves, hoses, belting, and specialized metal fabrications, often requiring technical specifications and quality assurance protocols aligned with federal standards. While specific contractor names are not available, Frost maintains relationships with a diverse pool of vendors, including both large manufacturers and small businesses capable of meeting precise engineering and material requirements. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for open competition, with a significant portion of awards flowing through full and open solicitations. She engages with suppliers who demonstrate capacity for batch production, compliance with material certifications, and adherence to delivery timelines, fostering partnerships grounded in performance accountability and regulatory adherence. Frost exhibits a strong commitment to small business participation, with 30.4% of her acquisitions designated as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. Her approach prioritizes economic opportunity by directing procurements toward small businesses without favoring specific socioeconomic categories such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB, indicating a broad-based support for small business eligibility under the general small business set-aside framework. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 332999 (Miscellaneous Fabricated Metal Product Manufacturing), which accounts for over 70% of her portfolio, followed by rubber and plastics hose manufacturing (326220) and metal valve and pipe fitting production (332919). She specializes in procuring custom-engineered components used in industrial, mechanical, and aerospace applications, demonstrating deep familiarity with material specifications, tolerances, and testing requirements in metal fabrication and polymer-based systems.
