Mary J Hudec

Mary Hudec serves as a Contract Specialist for the 252-NETWORK Contract Office 12 (36C252) within the Department of Veterans Affairs, where she plays a pivotal role in executing procurement actions critical to modernizing VA healthcare infrastructure. She manages the full lifecycle of acquisitions for electrical installation and facility systems, ensuring compliance with federal contracting regulations while aligning procurements with the agency’s mission to sustain safe, technologically advanced care environments. Her portfolio centers on mission-critical infrastructure projects, including wiring, power distribution, and integrated electrical systems essential to VA medical center operations. Hudec maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors specializing in facility infrastructure, including MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC, KOFFEL MEDICAL SUPPLY INC, and TROOP CONTRACTING INC. These partnerships reflect a preference for vendors with proven expertise in healthcare facility upgrades and compliance-driven construction. Her procurement approach emphasizes reliability, regulatory adherence, and performance accountability, fostering long-term vendor collaboration grounded in transparent communication and rigorous contract administration. A hallmark of Hudec’s contracting strategy is her balanced commitment to socioeconomic programs, with service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses (SDVOSBs) accounting for 50% of her awards, mirroring the agency’s priority to support veteran-owned enterprises. The remaining 50% of her acquisitions are conducted without set-asides, reflecting a strategic blend of competitive, open-market opportunities and targeted small business outreach. This dual approach ensures both broad market engagement and meaningful participation by veteran-owned firms. Her technical expertise is narrowly focused on NAICS 238210—Electrical Contractors and Other Wiring Installation Contractors—where she specializes in procuring complex electrical systems for healthcare facilities, including medical-grade power, emergency backup systems, and code-compliant wiring installations. This deep specialization enables her to effectively evaluate technical proposals, assess contractor qualifications, and ensure alignment with stringent healthcare facility safety and operational standards.
