Mary B Hudson

Mary B. Hudson serves as Section Chief at the GSA/FAS Region 7 Acquisition Center, where she leads the planning, execution, and oversight of mission-critical procurement activities for industrial and institutional supplies essential to federal operational readiness. In this role, she manages a high-volume acquisition portfolio focused on standardized, durable goods that sustain administrative, logistical, and facility operations across federal agencies. Her team ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while streamlining procurement pathways for consumables and equipment critical to daily government functions, emphasizing efficiency, standardization, and supply chain resilience. Hudson maintains consistent contracting relationships with key vendors 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, large-capacity suppliers capable of delivering high-volume, standardized products under indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) and blanket purchase agreement (BPA) vehicles. Her contracting patterns emphasize reliability, scalability, and long-term contract performance, with a focus on vendors demonstrating robust logistics capabilities and consistent delivery timelines. Hudson’s procurement portfolio reflects a 100% non-set-aside approach, indicating a strategic emphasis on full and open competition rather than socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs. While small business participation is not a primary driver of her award decisions, her team ensures all procurements adhere to FAR requirements for fair and transparent competition, prioritizing value, quality, and mission alignment over socioeconomic preferences. Her primary NAICS focus is 541910 (Marketing Research and Public Opinion Polling), which, in this context, reflects the procurement of specialized data collection, survey administration, and analytical services supporting federal program evaluation and operational feedback systems. This specialization underscores her expertise in acquiring non-traditional, service-oriented solutions that inform decision-making across federal agencies, blending market research methodologies with public sector procurement compliance.
