Maria Evans

Maria Evans serves as a key procurement lead within Washington Headquarters Services, supporting the Department of Defense’s mission to modernize institutional management systems and enhance enterprise-wide operational efficiency. She manages a diverse portfolio of professional services acquisitions, primarily focused on administrative support, digital transformation initiatives, and workforce development programs. Her role ensures alignment with DoD strategic priorities by executing compliant, transparent, and mission-driven contracting actions that enable seamless delivery of technical and administrative services across defense components. She routinely handles task orders and indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contracts under FAR Part 16, emphasizing performance-based outcomes and service-level accountability. Maria collaborates closely with a core group of contractors including Clarity Innovations LLC, Cynergy Professional Systems LLC, Signature Renovations LLC, AMD International Technologies LLC, and Guidehouse Inc. These partnerships span consulting, training, document management, and IT modernization services, reflecting a balanced approach to leveraging both large-capacity firms and specialized niche providers. Her contracting patterns demonstrate a preference for competed, performance-based solicitations that emphasize technical expertise, past performance, and scalability across DoD-wide operations. Her procurement strategy reflects a deliberate 33.3% allocation to each of three socioeconomic categories: Total Small Business Set-Asides, 8(a) competed awards, and no set-aside competitions. This balanced approach ensures robust small business participation while maintaining flexibility to meet urgent mission needs. She actively promotes equitable access for disadvantaged businesses, particularly 8(a) firms, and consistently integrates socioeconomic goals into acquisition planning without compromising mission readiness. Maria’s primary NAICS focus areas—541990 (All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services), 561410 (Document Preparation Services), and 611420 (Computer Training)—reveal a specialization in administrative modernization, knowledge management, and workforce upskilling. She procures services that enhance DoD internal operations, including process automation, compliance documentation, and digital literacy training, positioning her at the intersection of institutional efficiency and human capital development.
