Marjorie Forte serves as a procurement professional responsible for managing acquisitions related to commercial and industrial machinery repair and maintenance services. Her role centers on ensuring timely, compliant, and efficient procurement of critical support services that sustain operational infrastructure across federal missions. She handles a diverse portfolio of contract actions under the Federal Acquisition Regulation, with a focus on service-based requirements that demand technical specificity and vendor reliability. Forte’s work directly supports agency readiness by securing qualified third-party providers capable of maintaining complex mechanical and industrial systems outside the automotive and electronics sectors. Her contractor relationships are characterized by a balanced engagement with both large-capability service providers and small business vendors, with no single contractor dominating her award profile. She fosters collaborative partnerships with firms possessing specialized expertise in industrial maintenance, preventive servicing, and equipment overhauls, often leveraging performance-based contracting methods to ensure accountability and service quality. Her approach emphasizes vendor responsiveness, technical competency, and past performance evaluation over price alone. Forte demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with an equal split between open competitions and Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. She consistently prioritizes small business participation, ensuring equitable access for firms certified under the Small Business Administration’s programs, particularly those aligned with service-based NAICS codes. Her contracting patterns reflect a deliberate strategy to broaden the supplier base and enhance competition among qualified small entities. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 811219 and 811310, encompassing the repair, maintenance, and overhaul of commercial and industrial machinery. She specializes in acquiring services for heavy equipment, production line systems, and facility-supporting mechanical assets, requiring contractors with certified technicians, safety compliance expertise, and proven experience in industrial environments. Forte’s technical domain expertise centers on operational sustainability through reliable, mission-critical maintenance solutions.
