Severine RUINOT

Severine Ruinot serves as a secondary procurement support professional within the U.S. Embassy Paris, operating under the Department of State’s 19FR63 agency code. In this capacity, she provides critical administrative and operational assistance to the facility management and infrastructure contracting team, ensuring seamless execution of acquisition processes for mission-critical services. Her responsibilities include coordinating contract documentation, supporting vendor communications, and facilitating compliance with federal procurement regulations for non-defense infrastructure needs. She primarily supports acquisitions related to facility operations, environmental services, and personnel support functions essential to sustaining diplomatic missions abroad. While no primary contractor relationships are currently documented in the procurement records, Ruinot collaborates with a diverse range of vendors delivering facilities support, temporary staffing, and professional employer services. Her role involves vetting service providers for compliance with State Department standards, ensuring alignment with security protocols and operational continuity requirements for U.S. government facilities in France. She maintains a procedural, compliance-driven working relationship with contractors, emphasizing adherence to federal guidelines and performance metrics over direct negotiation authority. Ruinot’s procurement activity reflects a strict preference for open, non-set-aside competitions, with 100% of recorded acquisitions conducted under general competition without socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB. This pattern indicates a focus on operational urgency and technical specificity over socioeconomic objectives, consistent with the embassy’s need for reliable, immediately available services in a high-security diplomatic environment. Her primary procurement focus centers on NAICS codes 561210 (Facilities Support Services) and 532289 (All Other Consumer Goods Rental), reflecting a strong emphasis on HVAC maintenance, building systems upkeep, and temporary equipment provisioning. She also supports ancillary needs through 561320 (Temporary Help Services) and 561330 (Professional Employer Organizations), demonstrating expertise in workforce augmentation and integrated facility management solutions critical to sustaining diplomatic operations.
