Virginia Carol Renner

Virginia Carol Renner serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from requirements validation and solicitation development to contract award and administration. She plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and supports the agency’s mission by delivering mission-critical technical capabilities through transparent, competitive procurement processes. Her portfolio primarily encompasses complex procurements in advanced electronics, aerospace systems, and engineering services, requiring deep technical understanding and meticulous contract management to meet stringent performance and compliance standards. Renner cultivates collaborative relationships with a diverse range of contractors, including prime vendors specializing in defense and aerospace systems, engineering firms providing technical design and integration services, and small businesses certified under socioeconomic programs. While no single contractor dominates her award profile, she consistently engages with firms capable of delivering high-precision instrumentation, avionics components, and wireless communications equipment. Her working style emphasizes fairness, competition, and clear performance metrics, fostering long-term vendor partnerships grounded in accountability and regulatory adherence. Her procurement patterns reflect a strong preference for open competition, with 80% of her acquisitions conducted without set-asides. However, she actively supports small business participation, allocating 12% of her portfolio to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5 and 8% to 8(a) competed contracts. This balanced approach ensures market-wide access while intentionally advancing opportunities for small, disadvantaged firms without compromising competition or mission readiness. Renner’s primary technical focus lies in NAICS 334511 (search and navigation systems), 541330 (engineering services), and 336413 (aircraft parts and auxiliary equipment), reflecting her specialization in aerospace and defense electronics. She regularly procures guidance systems, avionics, radio frequency equipment, and precision measurement devices, demonstrating expertise in technical domains requiring rigorous certification, supply chain integrity, and compliance with military and aviation standards.
