Marla P Lefevre

Marla P. Lefevre serves as a Contracting Officer responsible for managing complex acquisition programs across facilities support, scientific consulting, and technical research services. She plays a pivotal role in executing the agency’s procurement mission by ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations, fostering competitive bidding environments, and delivering mission-critical services through transparent and accountable contracting practices. Her portfolio primarily consists of performance-based, indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) and firm-fixed-price contracts, often involving long-term service requirements that demand rigorous oversight and performance metrics. While specific contractor names are not available, her procurement patterns indicate consistent engagement with a broad base of vendors offering facilities management, technical consulting, and research support services. She maintains a vendor ecosystem that includes both large prime contractors and small business subcontractors, encouraging competition through open solicitations while ensuring compliance with socioeconomic goals. Her working relationships reflect a balanced approach—prioritizing value, quality, and regulatory adherence without reliance on a narrow set of suppliers. Lefevre demonstrates a strong preference for unrestricted competitions, with 84.6% of her awards issued under the “No Set-Aside” category, reflecting a focus on full and open competition. However, she actively supports small business participation, with 15.4% of her awards designated as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, indicating a deliberate effort to expand opportunities for small businesses without relying on specialized socioeconomic programs such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 561210 (Facilities Support Services), encompassing groundskeeping, custodial, and facility operations support, followed by NAICS 541690 (Other Scientific and Technical Consulting Services) and NAICS 541712 (Research and Development in Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences). She also procures niche air transportation services under NAICS 481219. Her technical expertise centers on operational support, non-biotech R&D, and mission-enabling consulting services critical to sustaining government infrastructure and scientific initiatives.
