Mai Wellman

Mai Wellman serves as a key procurement lead within the Social Security Administration’s Office of Acquisition and Grants, supporting the agency’s mission to sustain and modernize the operational infrastructure critical to benefit delivery. Responsible for managing complex acquisition strategies, Wellman oversees contracts for administrative services and waste management solutions that underpin SSA’s physical and logistical operations. Their portfolio centers on non-IT support services, with a focus on ensuring reliable, compliant, and cost-effective procurement outcomes aligned with federal acquisition regulations and agency priorities. Wellman maintains established relationships with a core group of contractors including CA, Inc., Johnson Controls, Inc., East Coast Welding & Construction Co., Inc., and Colorid, LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for proven, large-capacity vendors capable of delivering integrated facility services, specialized construction, and comprehensive business support solutions. The working relationships are characterized by long-term contract performance, consistent recompete cycles, and a focus on operational continuity rather than innovation-driven procurement. Wellman’s procurement activity shows no use of socioeconomic set-asides, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic emphasis on competitive bidding to ensure broad market participation and value-driven outcomes, rather than targeted small business set-asides. While small business participation is not formally prioritized in contracting structure, all procurements adhere strictly to FAR compliance and fair competition principles. The primary NAICS categories under Wellman’s purview are 562998 for all other miscellaneous waste management services and 561499 for all other business support services. These reflect a focus on facility maintenance, environmental services, and administrative support functions essential to SSA’s physical operations. Expertise lies in managing service contracts for janitorial, waste handling, logistics coordination, and facility support systems—domains requiring strict regulatory adherence and high reliability standards.
