Marco Macherelli

Marco Macherelli serves as a key procurement professional within the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), supporting the agency’s mission to deliver rapid, resilient emergency response and recovery capabilities. He manages a diverse portfolio of acquisitions focused on mission-critical infrastructure, emergency sheltering systems, and operational logistics, ensuring compliance with federal contracting regulations and timely delivery of life-sustaining resources during crises. His work directly enables FEMA’s strategic priorities in temporary housing, medical supply chain resilience, and infrastructure restoration, with a strong emphasis on agile, scalable solutions that meet urgent operational demands. Macherelli maintains consistent partnerships with a core group of contractors including FED SERVE LLC, EDGE TECHNOLOGY DISTRIBUTORS, INC., WS ACQUISITION LLC, VIDOVATION CORPORATION, and SAMSTAR LLC. These relationships reflect a preference for vendors capable of rapid mobilization, specialized logistics, and technical support in high-stress environments. He routinely engages firms with proven experience in emergency response supply chains, mobile infrastructure, and mission-critical equipment distribution, fostering collaborative, performance-based contracting approaches that prioritize reliability and adaptability. His procurement strategy demonstrates a balanced commitment to socioeconomic programs, with HUBZone and No Set-Aside awards each accounting for 40% of his portfolio, and 20% allocated to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. This pattern underscores a deliberate effort to promote geographic diversity and community-based resilience through HUBZone participation while maintaining flexibility to source from qualified small businesses across the nation. Macherelli’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 236116 for new multifamily housing construction—particularly emergency shelter facilities—and NAICS 312112 for bottled water manufacturing, critical for humanitarian relief. He also actively procures motor and generator systems under NAICS 335312 to support power restoration in disaster-affected areas. His expertise centers on acquiring durable, deployable infrastructure and essential commodities that sustain life during extended emergencies, reflecting deep technical familiarity with FEMA’s operational requirements and supply chain dynamics.
