Sandra M McGhee

Sandra McGhee serves as a procurement professional responsible for managing acquisitions within the recyclable materials supply chain, ensuring the agency’s operational needs for secondary raw materials are met efficiently and in compliance with federal procurement regulations. Her role centers on sourcing high-volume recyclable commodities through competitive contracting mechanisms, aligning acquisitions with sustainability goals and circular economy initiatives. She typically handles firm-fixed-price and indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contracts for wholesale distribution of recyclable materials, requiring deep familiarity with market dynamics, quality standards, and logistics coordination. McGhee engages with a broad base of merchant wholesalers specializing in the collection, sorting, and distribution of post-consumer and post-industrial recyclables. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, she maintains consistent relationships with established recyclable material merchant wholesalers who demonstrate reliable supply chain performance, environmental compliance, and adherence to federal contract terms. Her procurement approach emphasizes transparency, competitive bidding, and performance-based evaluations to ensure consistent material quality and on-time delivery. Her contracting patterns reflect a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of her acquisitions awarded without set-aside designations. This indicates a focus on market-wide competition rather than socioeconomic preferences, prioritizing cost-effectiveness, scale, and supply chain resilience over targeted small business set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs. McGhee’s primary procurement focus is concentrated in NAICS 423930 — Recyclable Material Merchant Wholesalers — encompassing the acquisition of sorted paper, plastics, metals, and glass commodities. She possesses specialized expertise in evaluating material specifications, contamination thresholds, and transportation logistics for bulk recyclables. Her technical domain knowledge ensures that acquisitions meet both agency operational requirements and environmental stewardship standards, making her a key contributor to sustainable procurement initiatives within her operational scope.
