Mara Scally

Mara Scally serves as a key procurement professional within the Department of the Air Force’s FA2860 316 Cons Pk facility at Joint Base Andrews, where she manages acquisitions critical to sustaining operational readiness and infrastructure resilience. Her portfolio centers on integrated security systems, hazardous waste management, precision equipment maintenance, and testing services that directly support command, control, and communications infrastructure for air operations. She oversees the full lifecycle of contracts—from solicitation through performance evaluation—ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations while aligning procurements with the agency’s mission to maintain secure, functional, and environmentally compliant facilities. Scally maintains consistent working relationships with specialized vendors including ZERO WASTE SOLUTIONS, INC, SENECA MINERAL COMPANY, and PELICAN CHEMICALS INC., each providing niche capabilities in environmental remediation, chemical handling, and waste treatment. These partnerships reflect a preference for contractors with technical expertise in hazardous materials management and facility-specific compliance, indicating a pattern of selecting vendors with proven experience in DoD environmental and safety standards. Her contracting approach emphasizes reliability, regulatory adherence, and long-term service performance over short-term cost savings. A strong advocate for small business participation, Scally structures approximately 60% of her acquisitions as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, prioritizing economic opportunity for small, disadvantaged, and locally based firms. Her contracting patterns reflect a deliberate strategy to foster competition among small businesses while maintaining technical rigor, ensuring that socioeconomic goals are met without compromising mission-critical requirements. Her primary procurement focus spans five NAICS categories equally weighted: security systems services, hazardous waste treatment and disposal, testing laboratories, electronic equipment repair, and forestry support activities. This diverse yet specialized portfolio underscores her expertise in managing complex, interdependent service contracts that ensure both environmental compliance and operational continuity at a high-security military installation.
