Amber K. VanHoozer

Amber K. VanHoozer serves as a Contracting Officer for the W6QM Micc-ft Sill under the Department of the Army, where she manages mission-enabling acquisitions critical to sustaining operational readiness at Fort Sill, Oklahoma. Her portfolio focuses on procuring essential support services that maintain infrastructure, housing, and quality-of-life programs for military personnel and transient forces. She routinely handles task orders and indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contracts under the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), with a strong emphasis on service-based procurements that ensure seamless on-post operations. VanHoozer’s work directly supports the agency’s strategic priorities by securing reliable, compliant, and responsive vendors for facility and personnel support functions. She maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors, including CDSI, INC., WASTE SOLUTIONS LLC, MDM MAC ENTERPRISES INC, TRI-CITY INDUSTRIAL, LLC, and FOREIGN POLICY RESEARCH INSTITUTE INC. These partnerships reflect a balanced mix of large and small business vendors delivering facilities maintenance, waste management, logistical support, and educational services. VanHoozer fosters collaborative, performance-driven contracting environments, emphasizing accountability, compliance, and timely delivery across a broad spectrum of mission-critical services. Her procurement patterns demonstrate a strong preference for open, competed acquisitions, with 66.7% of awards issued without set-asides. However, she actively supports socioeconomic programs, allocating 16.7% of awards each to 8(a) and HUBZone-certified small businesses, reflecting a deliberate commitment to expanding opportunities for disadvantaged and geographically targeted firms. This balanced approach ensures competitive rigor while advancing federal small business goals. VanHoozer’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 722310 (Food Service Contractors), which accounts for two-thirds of her portfolio, encompassing dining facility operations and meal support services. The remaining third centers on NAICS 611710 (Educational Support Services), including training support, instructional logistics, and academic resource coordination. Her expertise spans the full lifecycle of service-based acquisitions, with deep familiarity in managing complex, high-volume contracts that directly impact troop readiness and daily garrison operations.
