Marisol Hodge

Marisol Hodge serves as a Contracting Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, ensuring compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation and promoting efficient, transparent procurement practices. She specializes in construction-related contracts, guiding requirements development, source selection, and contract administration for complex building projects. Her work supports mission-critical infrastructure needs through strategic sourcing, risk mitigation, and stakeholder coordination, aligning procurement outcomes with broader organizational objectives. She typically handles sealed bidding and negotiated procurements under FAR Part 14 and Part 15, with a focus on commercial and institutional construction projects. Marisol collaborates with a diverse pool of contractors specializing in building construction and trade services, cultivating relationships with small and mid-sized firms with proven performance in the field. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for established vendors with demonstrated technical competence in construction disciplines, particularly those with experience in commercial building envelopes, interior finishes, and mechanical systems. She fosters collaborative partnerships through pre-solicitation outreach and post-award performance reviews, ensuring accountability and quality delivery. A strong advocate for small business participation, Marisol consistently prioritizes small business set-asides, with 71.4% of her acquisitions designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. Her procurement strategy actively promotes economic opportunity by directing opportunities to small businesses without favoring specific socioeconomic categories like 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB, instead emphasizing overall small business eligibility and capacity. This pattern reflects a deliberate, data-driven approach to maximizing competition and broadening vendor participation. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), with significant activity in flooring (238330), glass and glazing (238150), and plumbing, heating, and air-conditioning (238220) services. She possesses deep technical familiarity with building systems integration, material specifications, and construction delivery methods, ensuring that solicitations accurately reflect project scope and performance expectations. Her expertise enables her to effectively evaluate technical proposals and ensure compliance with industry standards.
