Marie B. Garcia

Marie B. Garcia serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of procurement actions, from requirement validation and market research to contract award and administration. She plays a pivotal role in ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations while advancing mission-critical acquisitions across technical and specialty service domains. Her portfolio primarily encompasses professional, scientific, and technical services, as well as specialty trade contracting, with a focus on delivering high-quality, compliant outcomes that support operational efficiency and regulatory adherence. Marie collaborates with a diverse range of vendors, including small businesses, professional service firms, and specialty trade contractors, fostering transparent and competitive contracting environments. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, she consistently engages firms with demonstrated expertise in geospatial services, engineering support, and construction-related specialties. Her approach emphasizes fair and open competition, with a strong preference for small business participation and a commitment to cultivating long-term vendor relationships grounded in performance and accountability. Marie demonstrates a pronounced commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with 62.5% of her awards structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. She actively prioritizes opportunities for small businesses across all categories, ensuring equitable access to federal contracts without reliance on specific programs like 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB. Her contracting patterns reflect a strategic alignment with agency goals to expand small business participation while maintaining rigorous standards for capability and compliance. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541990 (All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services) and 541360 (Geophysical Surveying and Mapping Services), reflecting deep engagement with technical consulting, data collection, and geospatial analysis. She also frequently procures services under NAICS 238990 (All Other Specialty Trade Contractors), indicating a strong demand for niche construction-related services such as site preparation, utility installation, and specialized infrastructure support. Her expertise spans both analytical and field-based technical domains, ensuring acquisitions meet complex operational needs with precision and regulatory integrity.
