Mary E Benzinger

Mary E. Benzinger serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from requirements determination through contract award and administration. She plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and advancing agency mission objectives through strategic sourcing. Her portfolio encompasses a diverse range of non-defense support services, with a focus on delivering efficient, transparent, and legally sound contracting solutions. Benzinger routinely handles simplified acquisitions, task orders under indefinite-delivery vehicles, and competitive procurements under FAR Part 12 and Part 15, prioritizing value, timeliness, and regulatory integrity. While specific contractor names are not available, Benzinger maintains relationships with a broad spectrum of vendors providing essential support services. Her procurement patterns reflect a balanced approach between large-capability providers and small business participants, fostering competitive environments that encourage innovation and responsiveness. She engages with vendors across multiple service sectors, emphasizing performance-based contracting, clear statement of work development, and robust source selection processes to ensure quality outcomes. Benzinger demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic objectives, with 25% of her acquisitions structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to promote small business participation, particularly among firms certified under the Small Business Administration’s programs. The remaining 75% of her awards are conducted as full and open competitions without set-asides, indicating a balanced approach that supports both small business goals and broader market competition. Her primary NAICS focus areas include Document Preparation Services (561410), Commercial and Industrial Machinery Repair and Maintenance (811310), Hotels and Motels (721110), Miscellaneous Waste Management Services (562998), and All Other Support Services (561990). These reflect expertise in procuring administrative, facility support, and operational services critical to day-to-day government functions. Benzinger’s technical domain knowledge spans logistics support, facility operations, and business process services, enabling her to craft precise requirements and evaluate technical proposals with precision.
