Marta Velez

Marta Velez serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of procurement actions within her organization, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and mission-driven outcomes. She specializes in planning, soliciting, evaluating, and awarding contracts for environmental remediation services, aligning acquisitions with regulatory mandates and public health priorities. Her role is critical in translating agency needs into legally sound, competitively awarded contracts that deliver high-value environmental solutions. She routinely handles complex, performance-based acquisitions requiring technical oversight, contract administration, and post-award management to ensure contractor accountability and mission success. Marta collaborates with a diverse range of contractors specializing in environmental remediation, including engineering firms, hazardous waste management providers, and site investigation specialists. While no single vendor dominates her portfolio, she consistently engages firms with proven expertise in soil and groundwater remediation, asbestos abatement, and contaminated site closure. Her working relationships are characterized by a focus on technical competence, regulatory compliance, and performance reliability, fostering long-term partnerships built on transparency and adherence to contractual obligations. Marta’s procurement patterns reflect a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of her awards issued under non-set-aside conditions. She does not routinely utilize socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs, instead prioritizing technical capability and past performance as the primary evaluation criteria. This approach underscores her commitment to achieving optimal outcomes through broad, merit-based competition rather than targeted socioeconomic preferences. Her primary focus is on NAICS 562910—Remediation Services—where she procures specialized environmental cleanup, containment, and restoration solutions. She has deep expertise in evaluating technical proposals for hazardous material handling, regulatory permitting, and long-term monitoring systems. Her domain knowledge spans federal environmental standards, including CERCLA and RCRA compliance, making her a trusted advisor in complex, high-stakes environmental contracting scenarios.
