Sophia Wooten

Sophia Wooten serves as an Acquisition Specialist responsible for managing complex procurements within the federal procurement ecosystem, with a focus on industrial measurement, control, and sensing technologies. She executes full lifecycle contracting actions—from market research and solicitation development to award and contract administration—ensuring compliance with FAR regulations and agency mission objectives. Her portfolio centers on high-precision instrumentation and industrial control systems, supporting critical infrastructure and operational monitoring needs across technical domains. Wooten’s acquisitions are characterized by rigorous technical evaluation and a strong emphasis on competitive sourcing to meet mission-critical performance requirements. While specific contractor names are not available, Wooten maintains a consistent pattern of engagement with manufacturers specializing in industrial instrumentation, fluid metering, and process control devices. Her contracting approach favors established suppliers with demonstrated technical capability in precision engineering and regulatory compliance, often working with firms holding ISO 9001 and AS9100 certifications. She fosters collaborative relationships with vendors capable of delivering custom-engineered solutions and supporting long-term maintenance and calibration services. Wooten demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with over 24% of her awards designated as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. She occasionally utilizes HUBZone and Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) set-asides, reflecting a deliberate effort to broaden vendor diversity. The majority of her acquisitions, however, remain open to all competitors, indicating a balanced approach that prioritizes technical merit while actively promoting socioeconomic goals where feasible. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 334519, 334514, and 334513, encompassing the manufacture of measuring and controlling devices for industrial processes, totalizing fluid meters, and instrumentation for process variable monitoring. She regularly acquires sensors, transmitters, flow meters, and control system components used in environmental, energy, and manufacturing applications, demonstrating deep familiarity with technical specifications, calibration standards, and industry-specific compliance frameworks.
