Suzanne R Stinson

Suzanne R. Stinson serves as a Contracting Officer responsible for managing complex acquisitions across a diverse portfolio of technical and administrative services. She plays a critical role in executing the agency’s procurement mission by ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations, fostering competitive bidding environments, and delivering mission-critical solutions through transparent and efficient contracting processes. Her typical acquisitions include professional services such as custom software development, scientific research, and management consulting, often requiring specialized technical expertise and rigorous performance oversight. While specific contractor relationships are not currently identifiable in the available data, Ms. Stinson routinely engages with a broad spectrum of vendors, including small businesses and established service providers, to meet evolving operational needs. Her procurement approach emphasizes fairness, competition, and regulatory compliance, fostering long-term vendor partnerships grounded in performance accountability and contractual integrity. She actively encourages vendor participation through clear solicitation language and structured evaluation criteria designed to promote equitable access. Ms. Stinson demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with 25% of her awards designated as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, reflecting a deliberate focus on empowering small business concerns. Although no other set-aside categories are predominant, her consistent use of small business set-asides signals a strategic alignment with federal goals to increase small business participation in federal contracting. Her patterns suggest a preference for broad-based small business engagement over narrowly targeted programs. Her primary procurement focus lies in five key NAICS categories: All Other Animal Production, Custom Computer Programming Services, Research and Development in the Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences (except Biotechnology), Research and Development in the Social Sciences and Humanities, and Administrative Management Consulting Services. This diverse mix reflects expertise in both scientific and administrative domains, indicating a capacity to manage technically complex, high-stakes procurements requiring specialized knowledge and rigorous performance metrics.
