Martha Worlein

Martha Worlein serves as a Contracting Specialist responsible for managing complex acquisition programs under the Federal Acquisition Regulation, with a primary focus on heavy civil engineering and waste collection services. She plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with statutory requirements, executing full and open competition where appropriate, and structuring solicitations that align with agency mission needs. Her acquisitions typically involve large-scale infrastructure projects, environmental remediation, and public works construction, requiring deep familiarity with performance-based contracting, cost realism analysis, and risk mitigation strategies under FAR Part 16 and Part 36. While specific contractor names are not disclosed in available data, Martha maintains a consistent procurement pattern that prioritizes small business participation, particularly through competitive set-asides. She regularly engages with qualified small businesses, including HUBZone-certified firms and other socioeconomic categories, fostering long-term vendor relationships grounded in transparency and regulatory adherence. Her working relationships reflect a collaborative approach to pre-solicitation outreach, industry days, and post-award performance monitoring, ensuring accountability and delivery of high-quality public infrastructure services. Martha demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with 73.3% of her awards designated as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, and an additional 3.3% reserved for HUBZone concerns. This reflects a deliberate strategy to maximize opportunities for small, disadvantaged, and geographically targeted firms, aligning with national goals to promote equitable economic growth. Her contracting approach consistently prioritizes small business inclusion over no-set-aside actions, which account for only 23.3% of her portfolio. Her technical expertise centers on NAICS 237990 (Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction), which dominates 93.3% of her acquisitions, encompassing dams, bridges, roads, and other public works. The remaining 6.7% involves NAICS 562119 (Other Waste Collection), indicating experience in municipal solid waste and non-hazardous waste handling services. Martha’s domain knowledge spans construction management, environmental compliance, and public infrastructure lifecycle procurement.
