Susan Ramnarine

Susan Ramnarine serves as a procurement professional responsible for managing complex construction and specialized equipment acquisitions within a federal agency. She plays a critical role in executing the agency’s mission by ensuring timely and compliant delivery of mission-critical infrastructure and technical systems. Her portfolio primarily encompasses electrical installation, commercial building construction, and specialized manufacturing contracts, requiring deep familiarity with FAR Part 36 and technical specifications for power systems and construction materials. Ramnarine’s acquisitions are strategically aligned with agency operational needs, often involving high-reliability systems for institutional and public-use facilities. Her contractor relationships are characterized by consistent engagement with electrical contractors and wiring installation firms, alongside manufacturers of power transformers and construction machinery. While no single vendor dominates her award history, she maintains a balanced ecosystem of prime contractors and subcontractors, frequently leveraging small business capabilities through set-aside programs. Her procurement approach emphasizes competitive bidding, technical evaluation, and performance-based outcomes, fostering long-term partnerships with vendors capable of meeting stringent quality and safety standards. Ramnarine demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with 40% of her acquisitions structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. Her contracting patterns reflect a deliberate focus on expanding opportunities for small businesses without relying on specialized socioeconomic categories like 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB, indicating a preference for broad-based small business inclusion. This approach supports agency goals for economic resilience and workforce development through inclusive contracting practices. Her primary technical focus lies in NAICS 238210, where she oversees electrical systems installation for public facilities, complemented by acquisitions in construction machinery (333120) and power transformer manufacturing (335311). She also procures specialized equipment for medical and institutional applications, demonstrating expertise in integrating technical specifications with construction standards. Her domain knowledge spans electrical infrastructure, building systems integration, and industrial equipment procurement, positioning her as a key liaison between engineering requirements and acquisition execution.
