Mary Hewson

Mary L. Hewson serves as a procurement specialist responsible for managing real estate and facility-related acquisitions within a federal entity focused on operational infrastructure support. Her role centers on executing full lifecycle contracting actions for land use, property leasing, and facility services, ensuring alignment with federal real property management standards and mission-critical space requirements. She routinely handles solicitations under the Federal Acquisition Regulation for both short-term and long-term real property leases, storage solutions, and recreational facility operations, acting as a key liaison between agency stakeholders and private-sector lessors and service providers. Hewson maintains collaborative relationships with a diverse array of real estate firms, property management companies, and facility operators, primarily engaged in nonresidential leasing, golf course operations, and general warehousing services. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes and compliance with federal property use guidelines, fostering stable vendor partnerships grounded in transparency and regulatory adherence. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, she consistently engages firms with proven experience in federal real property compliance and asset management. Her procurement patterns reflect a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of her awards issued without set-aside designations, indicating a focus on maximizing competition rather than socioeconomic targeting. This suggests an operational priority on efficiency and broad market access over targeted small business set-asides, though she remains compliant with all applicable socioeconomic requirements. Hewson’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS categories related to real estate leasing and facility operations, particularly 531390 (Other Activities Related to Real Estate), 531190 and 531120 (Lessors of Nonresidential and Other Real Estate Property), 713910 (Golf Courses and Country Clubs), and 493110 (General Warehousing and Storage). Her expertise encompasses the acquisition of land use rights, operational facility management, and logistics support infrastructure, demonstrating deep familiarity with federal real property law and the unique demands of leasing nonfederal assets for government use.
