Maria Hartsfield

Maria Hartsfield serves as a Contracting Officer for the FA5209 374th Contracting Package under the Department of the Air Force, responsible for managing mission-critical acquisitions that sustain operational readiness at U.S. military installations in Japan. She oversees the procurement of facility services, infrastructure maintenance, logistics support, and communications equipment essential to daily mission sustainment. Her portfolio emphasizes contracts under FAR Part 13 and Part 15, with a focus on requirements tied to facility management, equipment repair, and event support services for military personnel and operations. Hartsfield ensures compliance with DoD acquisition regulations while aligning procurements with strategic priorities for force readiness and installation resilience. Hartsfield maintains consistent working relationships with a diverse set of contractors, including KOTRACK INCORPORATED, BRANSCOME OPERATING, LLC, MOTOROLA SOLUTIONS, INC., AMD INTERNATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES LLC, and KOTSUKENSETSU CO., LTD. These partnerships reflect a mix of domestic and international vendors providing specialized services in facility operations, communications systems, and industrial equipment maintenance. Her contracting approach prioritizes performance-based outcomes and long-term vendor reliability, often utilizing indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) and task order mechanisms to meet dynamic operational needs across geographically dispersed units. Hartsfield’s set-aside preferences are heavily skewed toward unrestricted competition, with 86.1% of awards issued without socioeconomic set-asides. However, she maintains a measurable commitment to small business participation, allocating 11.1% of awards to total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5 and 2.8% to 8(a) competed contracts. While not primarily focused on HUBZone or SDVOSB programs, her portfolio reflects a balanced adherence to statutory small business goals within the constraints of mission-critical urgency and technical specificity. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 711310 (promoters of performing arts and events with facilities) and 711130 (musical groups and artists), indicating a unique emphasis on morale, welfare, and recreation services for deployed personnel. She also regularly procures commercial and industrial machinery repair (811310), facilities support services (561210), and telephone apparatus manufacturing (334210), demonstrating expertise in both logistical and cultural support domains critical to garrison sustainment.
