Mary Pesina

Mary Pesina serves as a Program Specialist responsible for managing the acquisition lifecycle for complex construction and real estate-related services. In this role, she ensures compliance with federal procurement regulations while aligning contract awards with organizational mission needs. She typically handles solicitations for architectural design, engineering services, and commercial building construction, working closely with project managers and technical stakeholders to define requirements, evaluate proposals, and administer contracts. Her work is critical to delivering mission-critical infrastructure and facility support services across the agency’s operational footprint. Mary maintains a broad network of qualified contractors across the built environment sector, partnering primarily with firms specializing in commercial construction, real estate leasing, and professional engineering and architectural services. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, she consistently engages mid-sized and large firms with proven experience in federal compliance, sustainable design, and facility management. Her procurement approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, clear statement of work development, and rigorous source selection criteria to ensure quality and accountability. Mary’s contracting activity is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of her awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic preference for maximizing market competition and leveraging broad industry capabilities rather than targeting specific socioeconomic categories. While she does not prioritize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, she remains committed to fair and transparent processes that allow all eligible vendors to compete on an equal footing. Her primary procurement focus centers on NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), 531120 and 531190 (Nonresidential and Other Real Estate Leasing), and 541310 and 541330 (Architectural and Engineering Services). She specializes in procuring design-build solutions, facility master planning, tenant improvement projects, and long-term real estate management contracts, demonstrating deep technical familiarity with building codes, ADA compliance, and federal facility standards.
