Maria Noema Reyes Romero

Maria Noema Reyes Romero serves as a Contract Specialist within the 0410 AQ HQ Contract Office under the Department of the Army, where she plays a critical role in executing mission-enabling acquisitions that sustain operational readiness across Army installations and deployed forces. Her responsibilities encompass the full lifecycle of procurement—from market research and solicitation development to contract award and administration—focusing on logistical, hospitality, transportation, security, and administrative support services essential to personnel welfare and mission continuity. She routinely manages complex, performance-based contracts under FAR Part 12 and Part 37, ensuring compliance with DoD acquisition policies while aligning procurements with strategic force support objectives. Maria maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of prime contractors including Booz Allen Hamilton Inc., Barbaricum LLC, Quiet Professionals, LLC, SOS International LLC, and Second-61 LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for experienced, high-performing vendors capable of delivering specialized technical, operational, and mission support services under time-sensitive, high-stakes conditions. Her contracting patterns emphasize long-term vendor reliability, past performance validation, and risk-mitigated source selection, often leveraging indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) and basic ordering agreements to ensure responsive, scalable support. Her procurement strategy is overwhelmingly non-set-aside, with 94.3% of awards issued under full and open competition, reflecting a priority on capability and performance over socioeconomic targeting. While small business participation is modest at 5.7%, it is strategically directed toward Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, indicating selective but intentional inclusion of qualified small firms where market conditions permit. Maria’s technical focus centers on NAICS codes related to motor vehicle transit systems, site preparation, and construction equipment leasing, underscoring her expertise in mobility infrastructure, installation support, and facility sustainment. She routinely procures services tied to transportation logistics, ground support equipment, and mission-critical facility operations, demonstrating deep domain knowledge in Army garrison and expeditionary environment requirements.
