Valerie V Almodovar

Valerie V. Almodovar serves as a key procurement professional responsible for managing a diverse portfolio of acquisitions centered on office equipment, information technology services, and commercial printing solutions. Within the agency’s acquisition framework, she ensures compliance with federal contracting regulations while advancing mission-critical operational capabilities through timely and efficient contract execution. Her work primarily involves soliciting, evaluating, and awarding contracts for leased office machinery, computer peripherals, and related technical support services, aligning procurement outcomes with agency operational needs and fiscal accountability standards. Her contractor relationships span a broad spectrum of vendors, including leasing firms specializing in office equipment, IT service providers, and commercial printers. She engages regularly with both large-scale suppliers and small business concerns, fostering competitive bidding environments that prioritize value, reliability, and service quality. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, her procurement patterns reflect a preference for established vendors with proven track records in equipment leasing and technical support, alongside a strong emphasis on open competition. Almodovar demonstrates a clear commitment to small business participation, with approximately 14.6% of her awards designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. Although she rarely utilizes specialized socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB, her consistent use of general small business set-asides signals a deliberate strategy to expand opportunities for small enterprises in the federal marketplace. Her approach balances regulatory compliance with meaningful access for qualified small firms. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 532420 (Office Machinery and Equipment Rental and Leasing), which accounts for nearly 60% of her activity, followed by IT services under NAICS 511210 and 541519. She also routinely procures computer peripheral equipment manufacturing services and commercial printing solutions, reflecting deep expertise in office infrastructure, document management systems, and supporting technology ecosystems. Her technical domain expertise centers on the integration of leased hardware with managed services to optimize efficiency and reduce lifecycle costs.
