Valeria Sist

Valeria Sist serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of procurement actions for specialized construction and trade services. She plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations while delivering mission-critical infrastructure and facility support services. Her portfolio primarily encompasses competitive solicitations under sealed bid and negotiated procurement methods, with a focus on firm-fixed-price and cost-reimbursement contracts. Valeria works closely with technical evaluators, program managers, and legal advisors to align contracting strategies with operational needs, ensuring timely and lawful execution of acquisitions across multiple project phases. Valeria cultivates collaborative relationships with a diverse pool of qualified contractors specializing in specialty trade services, including plumbing, electrical, painting, and general construction firms. While no single contractor dominates her award profile, she consistently engages with mid-sized and small businesses possessing proven performance histories in federal construction environments. Her contracting approach emphasizes vendor prequalification, past performance evaluation, and technical capability assessments to ensure reliable service delivery and contract compliance. Valeria’s procurement patterns reflect a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of her acquisitions conducted without set-aside designations. This indicates a strategic focus on maximizing competition and leveraging full market capability rather than targeting specific socioeconomic categories such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs. Her approach prioritizes value, efficiency, and broad market access, aligning with agency-wide objectives to maintain an inclusive yet competitive procurement environment. Her primary procurement focus centers on NAICS codes 238990, 238220, and 238320, reflecting deep expertise in specialty trade contracting for building systems and facility upgrades. She regularly manages acquisitions for HVAC installation, electrical wiring, interior finishes, and related construction services, demonstrating technical fluency in building codes, performance specifications, and inspection requirements. Valeria’s domain knowledge ensures that contract requirements accurately reflect engineering standards and operational durability needs.
