Maria N.Sousa Godinho

Maria N. Sousa Godinho serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from requirements definition and market research through solicitation, evaluation, award, and contract administration. She plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with federal procurement regulations while advancing mission-critical services across her agency’s operational priorities. Her portfolio primarily encompasses service-based contracts requiring technical oversight and performance-based management, with a focus on environmental remediation, industrial maintenance, and site preparation services. She works closely with program managers and acquisition teams to align contracting strategies with operational needs and regulatory requirements. While no specific contractor relationships are currently identifiable, her procurement patterns suggest consistent engagement with firms specializing in commercial and industrial machinery repair, site preparation, and solid waste collection services. She fosters vendor partnerships grounded in competitive bidding, performance metrics, and contract compliance, ensuring accountability and value delivery across a diverse supplier base. Her approach emphasizes transparency, fair competition, and adherence to FAR principles in all acquisition actions. Maria demonstrates a strong preference for open, non-set-aside acquisitions, with 100% of her awards issued under general competition. This reflects a strategic focus on maximizing market participation and leveraging broad industry capabilities rather than targeted socioeconomic programs. Her contracting decisions prioritize technical merit, cost-effectiveness, and performance outcomes over socioeconomic set-asides, indicating a preference for efficiency and scalability in procurement execution. Her primary NAICS focus areas include Site Preparation Contractors (238910), Commercial and Industrial Machinery Repair and Maintenance (811310), and Remediation Services (562910), each representing approximately 22% of her activity. She also regularly procures services under Solid Waste Collection (562111) and Other Measuring and Controlling Device Manufacturing (334519). This specialization signals deep expertise in environmental infrastructure, industrial asset maintenance, and precision equipment support—domains requiring technical acumen and regulatory knowledge in safety, environmental compliance, and performance-based contracting.
