Maria DiGiovanni

Maria DiGiovanni serves as a Contract Specialist within the PBS R3 Acq Management Division of the General Services Administration, where she plays a pivotal role in executing strategic procurements for federal facility services across Region 3. Her responsibilities encompass the full lifecycle of acquisition planning, solicitation development, contract award, and post-award administration for engineering and facility-related services. She ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while aligning procurements with the agency’s mission to modernize and sustain safe, efficient federal workspaces. DiGiovanni primarily manages task orders and indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contracts for building systems design, structural assessments, and facility condition assessments. While specific contractor names are not publicly available, DiGiovanni maintains collaborative relationships with a broad network of qualified engineering and architectural firms, including both large primes and qualified small businesses. Her procurement approach emphasizes competitive bidding, clear performance metrics, and rigorous technical evaluation criteria to ensure high-quality deliverables. She fosters transparent vendor engagement through pre-solicitation outreach and clear communication of requirements, promoting fair and open competition. DiGiovanni’s contracting portfolio reflects a strong preference for full and open competition, with 100% of her acquisitions classified as “No Set-Aside.” This indicates a focus on technical merit and capability over socioeconomic preferences, though she remains compliant with all applicable small business regulations and may consider small business participation as part of teaming arrangements or subcontracting plans when strategically advantageous. Her procurement expertise is concentrated in NAICS 541330 (Engineering Services), where she specializes in procuring civil, structural, mechanical, and environmental engineering services essential to federal building operations. She routinely manages contracts for building condition surveys, life-cycle cost analyses, seismic evaluations, and energy efficiency retrofits, demonstrating deep technical familiarity with facility infrastructure modernization and federal building code compliance.
