Mary Lynn Case

Mary L. Case serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing complex procurements within the federal acquisition framework, ensuring compliance with FAR and agency-specific regulations. She specializes in soliciting, evaluating, and awarding contracts for advanced technology systems, with a focus on mission-critical aerospace and software solutions. Her role is central to the agency’s procurement mission, bridging technical requirements with contractual execution to deliver high-performance systems on schedule and within policy. She routinely handles competitive sealed bids, negotiated acquisitions, and performance-based service contracts, often coordinating with engineering and program management teams to align contractual terms with operational needs. Mary’s contractor relationships are primarily with prime vendors possessing deep technical expertise in avionics, sensor systems, and custom software development. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, she consistently engages with firms capable of delivering integrated aeronautical systems and secure, scalable computing solutions. Her procurement approach emphasizes technical merit, past performance, and quality assurance, fostering long-term partnerships with vendors who demonstrate reliability and innovation in high-stakes environments. Mary’s contracting patterns reflect a strong preference for full and open competition, with 100% of her awards issued under non-set-aside authorities. She does not routinely utilize socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs, instead prioritizing technical capability and mission readiness as the primary selection criteria. This approach aligns with the specialized nature of the systems she procures, where niche expertise often outweighs socioeconomic preferences. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 334511, where she acquires search, detection, navigation, and guidance systems for aeronautical applications, as well as NAICS 541511 and 541512 for custom programming and systems design services. She frequently procures embedded software, real-time data processing platforms, and mission-critical computing architectures, demonstrating deep familiarity with defense and aerospace technical domains.
