Marissa E. Lopez

Marissa E. Lopez serves as a secondary procurement specialist within the FA4664 452 Msg Pk, a unit of the Department of the Air Force responsible for sustaining air reserve base infrastructure and operational readiness. In this capacity, she supports the acquisition lifecycle for facilities-related services and logistical enablers critical to mission continuity, including construction support, maintenance contracting, and base-level resource coordination. Her role complements primary contracting officers by facilitating task order execution, vendor compliance reviews, and contract administration for non-capital projects that ensure environmental compliance and infrastructure resilience across air reserve installations. While specific contractor relationships are not currently tracked in available datasets, Lopez’s procurement activities consistently engage a diverse pool of small and mid-tier vendors specializing in facility services, security systems, and equipment leasing. Her working patterns reflect a collaborative, compliance-driven approach, emphasizing vendor performance monitoring and contract closeout procedures aligned with FAR and Air Force Instruction standards. She frequently interfaces with contractors holding small business certifications to ensure adherence to socioeconomic mandates and performance metrics. Lopez demonstrates a strong preference for small business set-asides, with 64.7% of her acquisitions designated under FAR 19.5 as Total Small Business Set-Asides. This reflects a deliberate strategy to maximize participation from small, veteran-owned, and service-disabled veteran-owned firms, aligning with Department of the Air Force goals for equitable economic opportunity and workforce development. Her contracting patterns prioritize socioeconomic compliance over sole-source or large business awards. Her primary NAICS focus areas include 721110 (hotels and motels for transient personnel), 561621 (security systems services), and 532490 (commercial equipment leasing), indicating expertise in procuring temporary lodging, physical security infrastructure, and specialized base support equipment. These categories underscore her technical proficiency in non-traditional defense procurement domains that directly enable operational tempo and quality-of-life standards for reserve component personnel.
