Mary Pat Hayes-Crow

Mary Pat Hayes-Crow serves as a senior procurement professional responsible for managing complex acquisitions across professional, scientific, and technical services, with a strong emphasis on mission-critical support functions. Her role centers on executing full lifecycle contracting processes in alignment with federal acquisition regulations, ensuring compliance, competition, and mission alignment. She routinely handles requirements for advisory services, analytical support, and specialized technical consulting, often coordinating with program managers to define scope, evaluate proposals, and award contracts under both competitive and non-competitive authorities. Her work directly supports operational readiness and institutional capacity across diverse functional domains. While no specific contractor relationships are identified, her procurement patterns suggest a preference for open competition, with the vast majority of awards issued under general solicitation rather than set-asides. She engages with a broad base of vendors offering professional services, including consulting firms, research organizations, and technical service providers, typically selecting based on technical merit, past performance, and cost-effectiveness within a competitive framework. Her set-aside utilization is minimal, with 95.1% of awards issued as unrestricted, reflecting a primary focus on full and open competition. Small business participation is limited, with only 4.4% allocated to total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5 and a negligible 0.5% to HUBZone concerns, indicating a procurement strategy prioritizing capability and efficiency over socioeconomic preferences. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541990—All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services—indicating deep expertise in acquiring high-level advisory, analytical, and technical support services. Secondary categories include miscellaneous manufacturing and communications equipment, suggesting occasional procurement of specialized technical hardware or niche manufacturing services. Her domain expertise centers on science and technology-driven requirements, particularly those demanding specialized knowledge, research rigor, or technical innovation.
