Maureen Myrthel

Maureen Myrthel serves as a Contract Specialist with the W0ML USA Deputy Tobyhanna under the Department of the Army, where she plays a pivotal role in securing critical support for the modernization and sustainment of military electronic warfare, signal, and instrumentation systems. She manages the full lifecycle of acquisitions—from market research and solicitation development to contract award and administration—ensuring compliance with FAR and DFARS regulations. Her portfolio primarily encompasses specialized maintenance services, test equipment, and industrial infrastructure components essential to maintaining Army readiness at Tobyhanna Army Depot, with a strong emphasis on technical precision and mission-critical delivery timelines. Myrthel maintains a consistent working relationship with MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC, a key vendor providing facility and site support services critical to depot operations. While her contractor base includes a mix of large and small firms, she fosters long-term partnerships grounded in reliability, technical capability, and regulatory compliance. Her procurement approach prioritizes performance-based outcomes and leverages competitive contracting mechanisms to ensure optimal value and mission alignment. Her contracting patterns reflect a strong preference for open competition, with 63.6% of awards issued without set-asides. However, she actively supports small business participation, allocating 36.4% of contracts as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a balanced commitment to both efficiency and socioeconomic objectives without favoring specific categories like 8(a) or HUBZone. Myrthel’s procurement focus centers on NAICS codes 334220 (radio and wireless communications equipment manufacturing), 334515 (instrumentation for electrical signal testing), and 811310 (industrial machinery repair), reflecting deep expertise in electronic system sustainment. She routinely acquires specialized test gear, calibration services, and industrial material handling systems, underscoring her technical proficiency in supporting the Army’s advanced electronics infrastructure needs.
