Marianne McCallum

Marianne Slaby McCallum serves as a Contract Specialist within the Community Survivor Assistance SEC of the Federal Emergency Management Agency, where she manages the full lifecycle of acquisitions critical to post-disaster recovery operations. Her work centers on securing temporary housing solutions, operational infrastructure, and essential services that enable safe and dignified living conditions for disaster survivors. She executes procurements under FAR Part 13 and Part 19, ensuring compliance with federal procurement standards while aligning acquisitions with the agency’s mission of rapid, scalable response. Her portfolio includes complex service-based contracts requiring technical oversight and performance-based management. While specific contractor names are not publicly available, McCallum maintains a broad network of vendors providing professional, technical, and administrative support services. Her contracting patterns reflect collaboration with firms experienced in emergency response logistics, data systems integration, and third-party administration of survivor assistance programs. She fosters relationships with both large-capability providers and agile small businesses, prioritizing responsiveness, scalability, and mission alignment over contract size. McCallum’s procurement approach is overwhelmingly non-set-aside, with 91.7% of awards issued without socioeconomic preferences, reflecting the urgent and mission-critical nature of her acquisitions. However, she consistently reserves 8.3% of opportunities for Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a measured but deliberate commitment to small business participation without compromising operational tempo. Her primary NAICS focus areas include Custom Computer Programming Services (541511), Computing Infrastructure Providers (518210), and Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services (541990), indicating a strong emphasis on digital systems, data management, and technical support for survivor assistance platforms. She also procures pharmacy benefit administration services (524292) and media/digital content services (511210), underscoring her expertise in integrating health, communication, and IT systems into emergency response frameworks.
