Maria Rowlands

Maria Rowlands serves as a primary procurement contact, managing acquisitions and overseeing the contractual requirements necessary to support the agency's operational mission. Regarding set-aside preferences, the procurement patterns indicate a primary reliance on full and open competitions, with no set-aside used in the majority of cases. However, there is a documented commitment to small business participation, with a portion of acquisitions designated as Total Small Business Set-Asides per FAR 19.5. The technical focus of these acquisitions is heavily concentrated in industrial manufacturing and maritime maintenance. Primary expertise is demonstrated in ship building and repairing (NAICS 336611) and other engine equipment manufacturing (NAICS 333618). Additional procurement activity includes commercial and industrial machinery repair, elevator and moving stairway manufacturing, and metal window and door manufacturing.
