MaryAnne Potok

MaryAnne N. Potok serves as a Contracting Officer responsible for managing complex acquisition programs centered on commercial and institutional construction and related engineering services. In this role, she ensures compliance with federal procurement regulations while advancing mission-critical infrastructure objectives through transparent, competitive contracting processes. Her portfolio primarily encompasses construction, renovation, and facility modernization projects, requiring deep familiarity with FAR Part 36 and integrated project delivery methods. She works closely with design teams, construction managers, and technical evaluators to align contract requirements with operational needs and lifecycle cost considerations. While specific contractor names are not available, her contracting patterns reflect consistent engagement with a diverse pool of vendors, including general contractors, specialty trade firms, and engineering consultants. She fosters collaborative relationships with contractors who demonstrate proven performance in quality control, safety compliance, and schedule adherence, prioritizing those with strong past performance records and robust subcontracting plans. Her approach emphasizes accountability and risk mitigation, ensuring contract execution aligns with statutory and regulatory obligations. Potok demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with over one-third of her awards structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5 and an additional 11.1% designated for HUBZone concerns. Her preference for non-set-aside acquisitions (55.6%) reflects a balanced strategy that supports both broad competition and targeted socioeconomic goals. She actively promotes small business inclusion through early market research, pre-solicitation outreach, and clear solicitation language that facilitates small business responsiveness. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), complemented by significant activity in plumbing, heating, and air-conditioning contracting (238220), roofing (238160), and engineering services (541330). This specialization underscores her expertise in integrated facility projects requiring coordination among multiple trades and technical disciplines, ensuring that acquisitions deliver durable, code-compliant, and energy-efficient infrastructure solutions.
