Mary Catherine Beasley serves as a Contracting Officer within the GSA/FAS Center for IT Schedule Program, where she plays a pivotal role in executing the federal government’s strategic acquisition of information technology services. She manages the procurement of mission-critical IT solutions through GSA’s Multiple Award Schedules, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations while advancing digital transformation across agencies. Her portfolio centers on computer systems design services, with a focus on scalable, pre-vetted contracts that support cloud migration, managed infrastructure, and modern telecommunications platforms. Beasley’s work directly enables federal agencies to rapidly access secure, high-performance IT capabilities without lengthy competitive bidding cycles. Beasley cultivates collaborative relationships with a diverse pool of IT service providers, primarily through GSA’s IT Schedule 70 and other authorized procurement vehicles. She engages with both large systems integrators and innovative small businesses, fostering long-term vendor partnerships grounded in transparency, performance accountability, and compliance with federal cybersecurity standards. Her contracting approach emphasizes vendor responsiveness, technical capability validation, and post-award oversight to ensure deliverables align with evolving agency digital needs. A staunch advocate for small business participation, Beasley consistently prioritizes socioeconomic set-asides, with 80% of her acquisitions designated as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. She actively promotes equitable access to federal IT contracts by targeting firms certified under the 8(a), HUBZone, and SDVOSB programs, ensuring that small, disadvantaged, and veteran-owned businesses have meaningful opportunities to compete and grow through federal procurement. Her technical expertise is narrowly focused on NAICS 541512—Computer Systems Design Services—where she specializes in procuring custom software development, systems integration, network modernization, and cloud-based infrastructure solutions. Beasley’s acquisitions support the deployment of secure, scalable IT environments, with particular emphasis on hybrid cloud architectures, cybersecurity-enabled platforms, and mission-critical application modernization initiatives.
