Marco Pochy

Marco Pochy serves as a Contracting Officer responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from market research and solicitation to award and contract administration. He plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) while advancing agency mission objectives through strategic sourcing. His portfolio primarily encompasses industrial, environmental, and technical services, with a strong emphasis on procuring specialized goods and support services that align with national infrastructure and operational needs. Pochy routinely handles complex, multi-year contracts requiring technical evaluation and risk mitigation, often involving high-sensitivity or mission-critical deliverables. While specific contractor names are not available, Pochy maintains a balanced vendor ecosystem that includes both large-capacity industrial suppliers and small business concerns. His contracting patterns reflect a preference for competitive, open-market opportunities, yet he actively cultivates partnerships with certified small businesses, particularly those qualified under socioeconomic programs. He engages with vendors across diverse sectors, fostering transparent, compliant relationships grounded in performance-based contracting principles and clear statement of work definitions. Pochy demonstrates a clear commitment to small business participation, with 40% of his acquisitions structured as set-asides. His primary focus is on Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, complemented by a consistent 10% allocation to HUBZone-certified firms. He rarely utilizes other socioeconomic set-asides, indicating a targeted approach centered on broad small business inclusion rather than niche programs. His contracting decisions reflect a deliberate effort to expand market access for qualified small entities while maintaining competitive integrity. His procurement expertise is concentrated in three core NAICS categories: Industrial Gas Manufacturing (325120), Solid Waste Collection (562111), and Support Activities for Rail Transportation (488210). He also regularly procures investigation and background check services (561611) and space research and technology services (927110), demonstrating technical fluency in both industrial operations and national security-related domains. His specialization lies in acquiring engineered systems, logistics support, and specialized technical services requiring regulatory compliance and operational reliability.
