Marie Devine

Marie Devine serves as a Contracting Officer responsible for managing complex professional services acquisitions across engineering, scientific research, and workforce development domains. She plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations while advancing mission-critical objectives through competitive, transparent procurement processes. Her portfolio primarily encompasses performance-based contracts for technical services, including systems engineering, applied research, and organizational training programs, often structured as indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) or task order mechanisms to support agile and scalable service delivery. Marie cultivates relationships with a diverse range of vendors, including mid-sized engineering firms, independent research consultants, and specialized training providers. She prioritizes open competition and values proposers with demonstrated technical expertise, past performance, and strong project management capabilities. While no single contractor dominates her award portfolio, she consistently engages with firms possessing relevant domain knowledge in physical sciences and professional development, fostering long-term partnerships grounded in accountability and quality outcomes. Marie’s contracting patterns reflect a strong preference for unrestricted competition, with 100% of her awards issued under the “No Set-Aside” category. This indicates a focus on selecting the most qualified offerors regardless of socioeconomic status, while still adhering to all applicable small business goals. She does not routinely utilize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, instead emphasizing technical merit and value-based selection as the primary evaluation criteria. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541330 (Engineering Services), 541715 (Research and Development in Physical and Engineering Sciences), and 611430 (Professional and Management Development Training), each representing one-third of her activity. She routinely procures technical consulting, experimental design, data analysis, and leadership development services, demonstrating deep familiarity with performance work statements, statement of objectives, and evaluation factors tied to technical capability and organizational readiness.
