Valeria Sist serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of construction-related acquisitions, ensuring compliance with federal procurement regulations and promoting efficient, transparent contract execution. She plays a critical role in translating agency operational needs into legally sound, competitively awarded contracts, with a primary focus on specialty trade construction services. Her portfolio encompasses planning, solicitation, evaluation, award, and contract administration for projects requiring skilled labor in electrical, plumbing, HVAC, painting, and other civil construction disciplines. Valeria ensures all procurements align with statutory requirements, including timely performance and fiscal accountability, supporting mission-critical infrastructure and facility maintenance initiatives. Valeria maintains collaborative relationships with a diverse base of specialty trade contractors, including firms certified in electrical, plumbing, HVAC, and finishing trades. She consistently engages qualified small and medium-sized businesses with proven technical capabilities in field execution and safety compliance. Her contracting approach emphasizes fair competition, clear performance metrics, and robust contractor performance evaluations to ensure quality outcomes. She fosters long-term vendor partnerships grounded in reliability, regulatory adherence, and responsive service delivery. Valeria’s procurement patterns reflect a strong commitment to full and open competition, with 100% of her awards issued under non-set-aside authorities. While she does not currently utilize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, her process remains inclusive, encouraging participation from all eligible contractors through transparent solicitation practices and accessible pre-solicitation outreach. Her approach prioritizes technical merit and past performance over socioeconomic preferences, aligning with agency objectives that emphasize operational readiness and cost-effective delivery. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 238210 (electrical contractors), 238220 (plumbing and HVAC), 238320 (painting and wall covering), and 238990 (other specialty trade contractors), with additional activity in 237990 (other heavy civil engineering).
