Heide A Mahoney

Heide A. Mahoney serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from requirement development through contract award and administration. Her work supports the agency’s mission to procure critical industrial and chemical products in compliance with federal procurement regulations, particularly FAR Part 19 and Part 15. She specializes in complex procurement actions involving both commercial and non-commercial items, ensuring strict adherence to competitive procedures, source selection criteria, and contract compliance standards. Her portfolio primarily centers on manufacturing and chemical product procurement, requiring technical understanding of production processes and supply chain dynamics. While specific contractor names are not available, Mahoney routinely engages with a diverse pool of vendors, including both large manufacturers and small businesses capable of meeting stringent technical specifications. Her contracting patterns reflect a balanced approach to vendor engagement, fostering partnerships with firms that demonstrate capacity for consistent quality, on-time delivery, and regulatory compliance. She prioritizes transparent, competitive processes while maintaining strong oversight of contract performance and contractor accountability. Mahoney demonstrates a clear commitment to small business participation, with approximately one-third of her awards structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to increase economic opportunity for small manufacturers while maintaining acquisition efficiency. She does not rely on other socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB, indicating a focused preference for broad small business eligibility under the standard total set-aside framework. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 331221 (Rolled Steel Shape Manufacturing) and 331221 (Rolled Steel Shape Manufacturing), indicating deep expertise in procuring structural steel products and industrial components. She also frequently acquires specialized chemical preparations under NAICS 325998, requiring knowledge of hazardous material handling, regulatory compliance, and formulation standards. Her technical domain expertise spans industrial manufacturing, materials science, and chemical product specifications, making her a key liaison between end-user requirements and capable industrial suppliers.
