Sonia Zanobini

Sonia Zanobini serves as a Contract Specialist within the 0414 Aq Hq Contract Augmented unit of the Department of the Army, where she plays a critical role in procuring facility and infrastructure services essential to garrison operational readiness. Her responsibilities encompass the full lifecycle management of construction, maintenance, and support contracts, with a focus on enabling safe and resilient military environments through the acquisition of critical systems such as electrical, plumbing, and HVAC infrastructure. She ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while aligning procurements with the agency’s strategic priorities in installation sustainment and mission-critical infrastructure resilience. Zanobini maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of international contractors, including LINEA VERDE S.R.L., FIORINI IMPIANTI GROUP SRL, and NUOVA ELETTRICA S.R.L., all of whom provide specialized engineering and installation services for military facilities. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for established vendors with proven technical capabilities in complex infrastructure projects, often involving international supply chains and compliance with U.S. military standards. These partnerships are characterized by long-term engagement, performance-based evaluations, and a focus on reliability in high-stakes operational settings. Her set-aside preferences are overwhelmingly dominated by open competitions, with 98.6% of awards issued without socioeconomic set-asides. Only 1.4% of her acquisitions are designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, indicating a procurement strategy prioritizing technical capability and mission necessity over socioeconomic preferences, though she remains compliant with all federal small business obligations. Zanobini’s primary NAICS focus areas include 238210 (Electrical Contractors), 238220 (Plumbing, Heating, and Air-Conditioning Contractors), and 541620 (Environmental Consulting Services), reflecting her specialization in building systems and environmental compliance for military installations. She also routinely procures services under 532490 (Equipment Rental) and 711130 (Musical Groups and Artists), the latter supporting morale, welfare, and recreation programs. Her technical domain expertise lies in integrated facility systems that ensure operational continuity across Army garrisons.
