Marisol Pacheco

Marisol Pacheco serves as a procurement professional responsible for managing landscaping and grounds maintenance acquisitions on behalf of a federal agency. Her role centers on ensuring the delivery of high-quality, sustainable outdoor services that support mission-critical facility operations. She oversees the full lifecycle of contract actions—from market research and solicitation development to award and performance monitoring—with a focus on compliance with federal acquisition regulations. Pacheco’s expertise lies in executing service-based contracts that emphasize environmental stewardship, seasonal maintenance, and long-term landscape sustainability, aligning procurement outcomes with agency operational and aesthetic standards. Her contractor relationships are primarily with firms specializing in commercial landscaping, turf management, irrigation systems, and hardscape installation. While no single vendor dominates her portfolio, she consistently engages a diverse pool of service providers with proven experience in public-sector grounds care. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, requiring contractors to meet defined service level agreements around maintenance frequency, plant health metrics, and safety compliance. She fosters collaborative vendor partnerships grounded in accountability and continuous improvement. Pacheco’s procurement strategy reflects a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of her awards issued under the “No Set-Aside” category. This indicates a deliberate focus on selecting the most qualified offerors regardless of socioeconomic status, prioritizing technical capability, past performance, and cost-effectiveness over set-aside programs such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB. Her approach ensures broad market access while maintaining rigorous standards for service delivery. Her primary procurement focus is squarely on NAICS 561730 (Landscaping Services), encompassing mowing, pruning, planting, mulching, snow removal, and landscape design. She specializes in procuring comprehensive grounds management solutions for federal properties, demonstrating deep familiarity with USDA and GSA guidelines for sustainable landscaping. Her technical domain expertise includes native plant integration, water conservation practices, and compliance with federal environmental mandates.
