Mary Jo Holloway

Mary Jo Holloway serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from requirements definition through contract award and administration. She plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) while advancing mission-critical procurement objectives. Her portfolio primarily consists of professional services contracts, with a strong emphasis on language and communication support services. Holloway routinely handles competitive solicitations under both sealed bid and negotiated procedures, ensuring transparency, fairness, and efficiency in the acquisition process. While specific contractor names are not available, Holloway’s procurement patterns reflect consistent engagement with a diverse pool of vendors, particularly those capable of delivering high-quality translation, interpretation, and ancillary administrative support services. Her working relationships emphasize collaboration with firms that demonstrate technical proficiency, past performance, and compliance with socioeconomic requirements. She fosters vendor partnerships grounded in clear communication, timely responsiveness, and adherence to contract performance standards. Holloway exhibits a pronounced commitment to small business participation, with approximately two-thirds of her awards structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. This consistent preference underscores her dedication to expanding economic opportunity for small businesses and aligning acquisitions with federal socioeconomic goals. She rarely utilizes no-set-aside procurements, demonstrating a deliberate strategy to maximize small business involvement in mission-critical services. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541930 (Translation and Interpretation Services), reflecting deep expertise in language services for government operations. The secondary category, NAICS 811219, indicates occasional procurement of other personal and domestic services, likely supporting administrative or operational needs. Holloway’s technical domain expertise centers on linguistic support for federal programs, ensuring accurate, culturally competent communication across diverse populations.
