Maureen Long

Maureen Long serves as a Contracting Officer responsible for managing the acquisition of industrial and commercial fan and blower systems, as well as air purification equipment. In this role, she ensures compliance with federal procurement regulations while delivering mission-critical thermal and air quality solutions that support operational efficiency across federal facilities. Her acquisitions are primarily governed by competitive procedures under FAR Part 15, with a focus on performance-based contracting and technical evaluation criteria that prioritize energy efficiency, durability, and compliance with environmental standards. She works closely with technical representatives and program managers to define requirements, conduct market research, and execute contracts that align with agency operational needs. Maureen maintains a broad network of qualified vendors specializing in HVAC and air filtration technologies, engaging both large manufacturers and niche suppliers with proven technical capabilities. Her procurement approach emphasizes fair and open competition, with a preference for vendors demonstrating robust quality control systems, ISO certifications, and supply chain resilience. She actively collaborates with industry representatives during pre-solicitation events and source selection panels to ensure requirements are technically sound and achievable within federal constraints. Her contracting pattern reflects a strong preference for unrestricted competitions, with 100% of her awards issued under the “No Set-Aside” category. This indicates a focus on technical merit and full and open competition rather than socioeconomic set-asides, though she remains compliant with all small business reporting and outreach obligations under the Small Business Act. Maureen’s primary procurement focus is on NAICS 333413, encompassing the design, manufacture, and installation of industrial fans, blowers, and air purification systems. She specializes in procuring equipment for cleanrooms, data centers, laboratories, and other environments requiring precise air quality control. Her technical expertise lies in evaluating mechanical performance metrics, filtration efficiency standards (such as HEPA and UL 900), and integration with building automation systems, making her a key liaison between engineering requirements and acquisition execution.
