Maria Calimlim

Maria Calimlim serves as a Contracting Officer responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from requirement validation and market research through solicitation, evaluation, award, and contract administration. She plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and agency procurement policies, facilitating timely and efficient delivery of mission-critical services. Her portfolio primarily encompasses professional, scientific, and facility support services, with a focus on non-defense, civilian-sector needs. She routinely handles simplified acquisitions, indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contracts, and task order competitions under GSA schedules and other governmentwide acquisition contracts. Maria maintains a broad network of vendor relationships across multiple service sectors, engaging both large primes and small businesses in competitive procurements. While no single contractor dominates her award history, she consistently fosters fair and open competition, encouraging new entrants and repeat performers alike. Her contracting approach emphasizes transparency, timely communication, and performance-based outcomes, building trust with vendors through clear solicitation language and consistent evaluation criteria. Maria’s procurement patterns reflect a strong preference for unrestricted competitions, with 100% of her awards issued under no set-aside status. This indicates a strategic focus on maximizing competition and value rather than socioeconomic set-asides, though she remains fully compliant with all small business program requirements. Her approach prioritizes market-driven outcomes while maintaining rigorous oversight of contractor performance and compliance. Her primary NAICS focus areas include Exterminating and Pest Control Services (561710), Flight Training (611512), and All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services (541990), reflecting expertise in specialized operational support, aviation training, and niche technical consulting. She also regularly procures Janitorial Services (561720) and Other Services to Buildings and Dwellings (561790), demonstrating a comprehensive understanding of facility maintenance and environmental service delivery across diverse operational environments.
