Maria Stubitz

Maria Stubitz serves as a key procurement professional within the National Park Service’s Pwr LAME(81000) office, responsible for managing civil works and infrastructure modernization contracts critical to preserving national park resources. She oversees acquisitions aligned with the agency’s mission to ensure operational resilience of water, wastewater, HVAC, and solid waste systems across protected lands. Her portfolio primarily includes construction and maintenance contracts under the Federal Acquisition Regulation, with a strong emphasis on utility system rehabilitation, facility upgrades, and environmental compliance. Stubitz’s work directly supports the NPS’s strategic priorities in infrastructure sustainability and long-term resource protection. She maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of specialized contractors, including BOULDER DISPOSAL INC, PASSION IN THE WORK LLC, MIB ENTERPRISES, INC., KONE INC, and MICHAEL PORTALATIN LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for firms with proven expertise in niche civil infrastructure services—particularly those capable of delivering complex utility upgrades in sensitive ecological environments. Her contracting approach prioritizes vendor reliability, technical proficiency in historic preservation contexts, and the ability to operate under stringent environmental and safety protocols. Stubitz demonstrates a pronounced commitment to small business participation, with over 65% of her awards designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. She routinely structures solicitations to encourage participation from service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses and other socioeconomically disadvantaged firms, aligning with federal goals for equitable contracting. Her procurement patterns reflect a deliberate effort to build capacity among small, mission-aligned vendors capable of delivering high-quality, context-sensitive infrastructure solutions. Her technical focus centers on NAICS 237110 (water and sewer line construction) and 238220 (plumbing, heating, and air-conditioning contractors), with additional emphasis on water supply systems and solid waste collection. She specializes in procuring services that integrate modern engineering standards with the preservation of historic park infrastructure, ensuring functional reliability without compromising environmental or cultural integrity.
