Andrea Mason

Andrea Mason serves as a Contract Specialist at Washington Headquarters Services (WHS), supporting the Department of Defense’s mission to modernize institutional management systems and deliver enterprise-wide administrative and technical services. In this role, she manages the full lifecycle of procurement actions, from market research and solicitation development to contract award and administration, with a focus on support services and specialized manufacturing. Her acquisitions enable critical infrastructure sustainment and digital transformation initiatives across DoD components, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and strategic sourcing objectives. Andrea maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors, including Clarity Innovations LLC, Cynergy Professional Systems LLC, Signature Renovations LLC, AMD International Technologies LLC, and Guidehouse Inc. These partnerships reflect a preference for firms with demonstrated expertise in defense support services, facility modernization, and enterprise consulting. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, clear statement of work development, and long-term vendor collaboration to ensure mission continuity and operational readiness. A strong advocate for socioeconomic opportunity, Andrea prioritizes small business participation, with approximately half of her acquisitions set aside for Women-Owned Small Businesses and the other half for Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. Her contracting patterns reflect a deliberate strategy to expand access for underserved vendors, aligning with DoD’s broader goals to enhance diversity in the defense industrial base and promote equitable competition. Her primary procurement focus centers on NAICS 332992 (Small Arms Ammunition Manufacturing) and NAICS 561990 (All Other Support Services), indicating deep specialization in defense logistics, facility maintenance, and mission-critical technical support. She routinely procures specialized equipment, facility renovation services, and integrated administrative solutions that directly support the operational readiness of DoD headquarters and field elements, demonstrating technical fluency in both defense manufacturing and institutional support domains.
