MaryAnn Swearingen

Mary Ann Swearingen serves as a Contracting Officer at the GSA/FAS Region 7 Acquisition Center, where she plays a pivotal role in executing mission-critical procurements for federal industrial and institutional supplies. Responsible for managing the full lifecycle of acquisition actions, she ensures the timely delivery of standardized, high-volume manufactured goods essential to sustaining federal facility operations, logistics, and administrative functions. Her portfolio emphasizes durable equipment and consumables that support operational readiness across federal agencies, with a focus on streamlining acquisition pathways through streamlined contracting vehicles and efficient sourcing strategies. Swearingen maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors including MACGYVER SOLUTIONS, INC., FEDERAL SUPPLY SERVICES INTERNATIONAL LLC., B.W. WILSON PAPER COMPANY, INCORPORATED, and COMSIS SOLUTIONS LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for established vendors with proven capabilities in manufacturing, distribution, and technical support for institutional-grade products. Her contracting approach prioritizes reliability, compliance, and supply chain resilience, often leveraging GSA Schedule contracts and other pre-vetted acquisition tools to reduce cycle times and ensure regulatory adherence. Her procurement activity reflects a 100% non-set-aside strategy, indicating a primary focus on full and open competition rather than socioeconomic set-asides. While she does not routinely prioritize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs, her contracting decisions are grounded in merit-based evaluation criteria aligned with mission needs and performance requirements, ensuring value and operational continuity. Swearingen’s technical expertise centers on NAICS 334516 (Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing) and 334515 (Instrument Manufacturing for Measuring and Testing Electricity and Electrical Signals), reflecting a deep specialization in procuring precision testing equipment, calibration tools, and laboratory instrumentation. She routinely manages acquisitions for devices used in environmental monitoring, quality control, and federal facility compliance, demonstrating strong domain knowledge in scientific and industrial measurement technologies.
