Andrea J Maxwell

Andrea J. Maxwell serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from market research and solicitation development to contract award and administration. She plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with federal procurement regulations while aligning acquisitions with operational mission needs. Her portfolio primarily involves complex procurements for specialized manufacturing and environmental services, requiring deep technical understanding and rigorous source selection processes. She routinely handles competitive sealed bids, negotiated contracts, and FAR-compliant actions across multiple acquisition categories, emphasizing transparency, fairness, and value optimization. Andrea collaborates with a diverse range of contractors, primarily in aerospace manufacturing, plastics fixture production, and hazardous waste management sectors. While no single contractor dominates her award profile, she engages with both large prime contractors and small businesses capable of delivering high-precision components and specialized environmental services. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for open competition and performance-based requirements, fostering vendor innovation through clear statement of work development and rigorous evaluation criteria. Andrea’s procurement activity is entirely focused on open, non-set-aside competitions, with 100% of her acquisitions conducted without socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB preferences. This indicates a strategic emphasis on technical capability and cost-effectiveness over socioeconomic targeting, though it does not preclude small business participation when they compete on an equal footing. Her approach reflects a mission-driven alignment with full and open competition as the default procurement pathway under FAR Part 6. Her primary NAICS focus areas include 336413 (Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing), 336411 (Aircraft Manufacturing), 326191 (Plastics Plumbing Fixture Manufacturing), and 562211 (Hazardous Waste Treatment and Disposal). She specializes in procuring mission-critical components for aviation systems, engineered plastic fixtures, and hazardous material remediation services, demonstrating expertise in both high-reliability manufacturing and environmental compliance domains.
