Mary C Andich

Mary C. Andich serves as a Contract Specialist within the 763d Enterprise Sourcing Squadron of the Department of the Air Force, where she plays a pivotal role in executing mission-critical acquisitions that sustain airpower readiness. She manages the full lifecycle of contracts for advanced technology, logistics support, and training systems essential to pilot proficiency, communications resilience, and operational agility. Her portfolio encompasses complex procurements requiring deep technical understanding of industrial equipment, aviation support systems, and enterprise logistics services, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and alignment with Air Force modernization priorities. Andich collaborates with a diverse range of vendors, including manufacturers of industrial machinery, aviation maintenance service providers, and specialized airport operations contractors. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, she consistently engages with both large-tier suppliers and small businesses capable of delivering niche technical solutions. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, clear statement of work development, and rigorous source selection processes to ensure mission-aligned deliverables. Her procurement strategy reflects a strong commitment to small business participation, with 25% of her awards structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. She actively leverages socioeconomic programs to expand vendor diversity, though the majority of her acquisitions remain open to full and open competition. This balanced approach ensures market competitiveness while fostering opportunities for qualified small businesses in the defense industrial base. Andich’s primary NAICS focus areas include industrial truck and material handling equipment manufacturing, packaging machinery, airport operations support, and specialized industrial maintenance services. She routinely procures automated logistics systems, ground support equipment, aviation maintenance tools, and enterprise-level facility operations services. Her technical expertise lies at the intersection of mechanical systems, aviation infrastructure, and enterprise logistics, enabling her to effectively evaluate technical proposals and ensure contractor capability aligns with operational requirements.
