Marilynne Davis

Marilynne Davis serves as a Contracting Officer responsible for managing the acquisition of food and grocery supply chain services under federal procurement regulations. In this role, she ensures compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) while executing competitive and transparent procurement strategies that align with agency mission requirements. Her portfolio primarily involves the solicitation, evaluation, and award of contracts for bulk food commodities and related logistics services, with a focus on efficient delivery and supply chain reliability. She works closely with program stakeholders to define technical specifications, assess vendor capabilities, and ensure contractual performance standards are met across the lifecycle of each acquisition. While specific contractor names are not available, her procurement patterns indicate a preference for established wholesale and food manufacturing vendors with proven capacity to deliver large-scale, consistent supply. She engages with vendors through full and open competition, leveraging standardized solicitation methods such as Requests for Proposals (RFPs) and Invitations for Bids (IFBs). Her working relationships emphasize vendor reliability, compliance with food safety standards, and timely delivery performance, fostering long-term contractual partnerships grounded in accountability and regulatory adherence. Ms. Davis has a 100% focus on full and open competition, with no use of socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs. This reflects a procurement strategy prioritizing broad market access and maximum competition over targeted socioeconomic preferences, consistent with agency-wide directives for non-preferential contracting in her domain. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 424410 (General Line Grocery Merchant Wholesalers), which accounts for 80% of her activity, indicating a strong emphasis on procuring diversified grocery products including perishables, dry goods, and packaged foods. The remaining 20% involves NAICS 311999 (All Other Miscellaneous Food Manufacturing), suggesting she also oversees custom or specialty food production contracts. Her expertise spans food safety compliance, distribution logistics, and bulk commodity procurement within the federal supply chain.
