Andrea Mason

Andrea Mason serves as a Contract Specialist within Washington Headquarters Services (WHS), a critical support arm of the Department of Defense responsible for enterprise-wide administrative and operational services. In this role, she manages the full lifecycle of procurement actions—from market research and solicitation development to contract award and administration—ensuring compliance with FAR and DFARS requirements. Her acquisitions primarily support the modernization of DoD institutional systems, including technical services, training, and infrastructure-related solutions that enhance mission readiness and operational efficiency across defense components. Andrea maintains established 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 balanced approach to sourcing, combining established mid-tier firms with specialized service providers capable of delivering complex administrative, technical, and professional support. Her contracting patterns demonstrate a preference for vendors with proven experience in defense-centric environments, emphasizing reliability, regulatory adherence, and scalable service delivery. Her procurement strategy prioritizes broad market access, with 57.1% of her actions conducted without set-asides, while actively promoting small business participation through Total Small Business Set-Asides (28.6%) and Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) set-asides (14.3%). This balanced approach ensures competition while fulfilling statutory obligations to support socioeconomic programs and enhance diversity in the defense industrial base. Andrea’s portfolio is heavily focused on NAICS 334310 (Audio and Video Equipment Manufacturing), reflecting procurement of multimedia and communication systems, alongside significant activity in 541990 (Other Professional Services), 611430 (Management Training), and 561410 (Document Preparation).
