Mary M. Chin

Mary M. Chin serves as a Contract Specialist within the Public Buildings Service’s R9 Amd Recurring Services unit, where she plays a pivotal role in procuring mission-critical, recurring maintenance and operational services that sustain federal facilities nationwide. Her acquisitions focus on ensuring the continued functionality, safety, and compliance of government buildings through long-term service contracts. She specializes in managing task and delivery order contracts under GSA schedules and basic ordering agreements, with an emphasis on lifecycle support for building systems. Her work directly supports the agency’s strategic mission to modernize infrastructure while maintaining operational continuity across the federal real estate portfolio. Chin cultivates collaborative relationships with a diverse array of contractors, particularly those certified under socioeconomic programs, to ensure robust competition and service reliability. While specific vendor names are not disclosed, her procurement patterns reflect consistent engagement with firms possessing deep expertise in building systems, janitorial operations, and mechanical infrastructure. She prioritizes vendors with proven performance histories, strong compliance records, and the capacity to deliver scalable, nationwide support under indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) mechanisms. A strong advocate for small business inclusion, Chin consistently structures procurements to maximize participation under the Small Business Set-Aside program, with over half of her acquisitions designated for small businesses under FAR 19.5. She also actively employs 8(a) competed set-asides, demonstrating a deliberate commitment to socioeconomic contracting goals. Her approach aligns with GSA’s mandate to foster equitable opportunity while maintaining high standards of service delivery. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 238220 (plumbing, heating, and air-conditioning contractors), 561720 (janitorial services), and 238290 (other building equipment contractors), with additional activity in fitness and recreational center operations. She possesses specialized knowledge in facility systems integration, preventive maintenance protocols, and service-level agreement (SLA) enforcement, ensuring that contracted services meet stringent federal operational and safety benchmarks.
