Sara Bonnette

Sara Bonnette serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from requirement development and market research to contract award and administration. She plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and supports her agency’s mission by delivering essential services through transparent, competitive procurement processes. Her portfolio spans a diverse range of non-defense services, with a focus on professional training, public relations, construction, and information services, reflecting a balanced approach to meeting operational needs while fostering market competition. While specific contractor names are not available, Sara consistently engages with a broad spectrum of vendors, including small businesses, general contractors, and specialized service providers. Her contracting patterns indicate a preference for open competition, with the majority of awards issued under unrestricted solicitations. She maintains professional, arms-length relationships with vendors, ensuring adherence to ethical standards and fair competition principles while supporting timely delivery of mission-critical services. Sara demonstrates a moderate but intentional commitment to small business participation, with approximately 11.1% of her awards structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. Although the majority of her acquisitions remain unrestricted, her targeted use of small business set-asides reflects a deliberate effort to expand opportunities for qualified small businesses without compromising acquisition efficiency or market responsiveness. Her primary NAICS focus areas include 519130 (Other Information Services), 611430 (Professional and Management Development Training), 541820 (Public Relations Agencies), 238210 (Electrical Contractors), and 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction). This diversity highlights her expertise in procuring both technical and infrastructure-related services, requiring a nuanced understanding of performance-based contracting, statement of work development, and technical evaluation criteria across multiple domains.
