Judy M Stevens

Judy M. Stevens serves as a key procurement lead within the New Orleans Contract Operations Management Branch of the Federal Emergency Management Agency, supporting mission-critical disaster response and recovery operations. She manages a diverse portfolio of acquisitions focused on securing logistical and operational services essential to emergency infrastructure, including temporary housing, site readiness, and emergency support systems. Her work directly enables FEMA’s ability to deploy rapid response capabilities following federal disaster declarations, with a primary emphasis on securing recreational vehicle parks, campgrounds, and related temporary lodging solutions. Stevens handles full lifecycle contracting actions under FAR Part 13 and Part 15, ranging from simplified acquisitions to competitive negotiated procurements, ensuring compliance with emergency procurement authorities and federal contingency standards. Her contractor relationships span a broad spectrum of service providers, including facilities management firms, administrative consultants, and specialized logistics vendors. She consistently engages with vendors capable of mobilizing rapidly under dynamic conditions, often partnering with firms experienced in emergency response, temporary infrastructure deployment, and mobile service delivery. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, her contracting patterns reflect a preference for agile, scalable service providers capable of operating across multiple jurisdictions under high-pressure timelines. Stevens demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with approximately 27.3% of her awards designated for small business set-asides, including a notable 9.1% allocation to HUBZone firms. Her contracting approach actively encourages participation from small disadvantaged businesses and promotes equitable access to federal emergency response contracts, aligning with FEMA’s broader goals of inclusive disaster recovery. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 561210 (Facilities Support Services), with significant activity in ambulance services, bottled water manufacturing, and computer facilities management. This reflects deep expertise in procuring essential life-sustaining and operational services critical to sustaining displaced populations and emergency operations centers during prolonged disaster events.
