Steven Roberts

Steven G. Roberts serves as an Event Management Specialist within the Office of Customer Accounts and Resources (47QCCA) at the General Services Administration, where he plays a pivotal role in advancing federal acquisition excellence through the strategic planning and execution of government-wide training symposia, industry conferences, and professional development events. His work directly supports the Federal Acquisition Service’s mission by facilitating market engagement and knowledge sharing among acquisition professionals. Roberts manages a portfolio of service-based acquisitions focused on event logistics, conference production, and professional consulting services, ensuring that federal workforce development initiatives are delivered with efficiency, compliance, and transparency. Roberts collaborates with a broad range of professional services contractors specializing in event planning, marketing communications, and technical training delivery. He engages with firms that offer end-to-end event management solutions, including venue coordination, speaker liaison services, digital platform integration, and attendee analytics. His contracting patterns reflect a preference for experienced, non-traditional vendors capable of delivering scalable, high-impact educational experiences across federal, state, and private-sector audiences. Roberts consistently awards contracts under the “No Set-Aside” category, reflecting a focus on capability and performance over socioeconomic designations. While he does not prioritize specific set-aside programs such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB, his procurement decisions remain fully compliant with all applicable federal regulations and emphasize merit-based selection. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541990 (All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services), with a secondary emphasis on NAICS 541613 (Marketing Consulting Services). He routinely procures services related to strategic event design, stakeholder outreach, branding, and instructional content development—domains requiring deep expertise in federal acquisition culture and adult learning methodologies.
