Mandy A. Mauer

Mandy A. Mauer serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from requirement development through contract award and administration. She plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and promoting efficient, transparent procurement practices aligned with agency mission objectives. Her portfolio primarily centers on professional services, particularly in training and human services, where she navigates complex sourcing strategies to meet evolving operational needs. Mauer routinely handles competitive and non-competitive procurements under simplified acquisition procedures and FAR Part 12 commercial item authorities, ensuring timely delivery of mission-critical support services. While specific contractor relationships are not currently identifiable in available data, Mauer’s procurement patterns indicate a consistent engagement with a diverse pool of vendors, including small businesses and service providers specializing in workforce development and social services. Her approach emphasizes fair competition and vendor responsiveness, fostering partnerships with firms capable of delivering high-quality, scalable solutions in education and community-based support environments. Mandy demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with an equal split between total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5 and no set-aside procurements. This balanced strategy reflects a deliberate effort to maximize small business participation without compromising mission flexibility. Her consistent use of small business set-asides signals a proactive stance in advancing opportunities for disadvantaged entrepreneurs and promoting equitable access to federal contracting. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 611430 (Professional and Management Development Training) and NAICS 624190 (Other Individual and Family Services), indicating deep expertise in acquiring educational programming, leadership development, and social service interventions. She regularly sources curriculum design, instructor-led training, case management support, and community outreach services, demonstrating technical proficiency in human capital and social services domains.
