Shamsun Nahar

Shamsun Nahar serves as a Purchasing Agent responsible for executing procurement actions that align with federal acquisition regulations and socioeconomic contracting goals. In this role, she manages the full lifecycle of acquisitions—from market research and solicitation development to contract award and administration—ensuring compliance, efficiency, and transparency in all purchasing decisions. Her work directly supports the agency’s mission to secure essential logistics and packaging services with rigorous adherence to statutory requirements. She specializes in low-complexity, high-volume procurements requiring precise specification alignment and timely delivery, typically handling service-based contracts under simplified acquisition procedures. While no contractor data is currently available to identify specific vendors, Nahar’s procurement patterns indicate a strong preference for engaging certified small businesses, particularly those participating in the 8(a) Business Development Program. She consistently structures solicitations to maximize competition among 8(a)-eligible firms, fostering equitable access to federal opportunities and promoting economic development in underserved communities. Her contracting approach reflects a deliberate and sustained commitment to small business inclusion, with 100% of her awarded contracts designated as 8(a) competed, demonstrating a clear focus on empowering socially and economically disadvantaged entrepreneurs. Nahar’s procurement portfolio is exclusively concentrated under NAICS code 488991—Packing and Crating—which encompasses specialized logistics services such as custom packaging, protective crating, unitization, and freight preparation for sensitive or high-value cargo. Her expertise lies in procuring technical packaging solutions that meet federal transportation, storage, and handling standards, often for defense, medical, or scientific equipment. This narrow but critical specialization requires deep familiarity with material specifications, international shipping regulations, and packaging certification requirements, positioning her as a subject matter expert in logistics support services within the federal supply chain.
