Amber Mears

Amber Mears serves as a secondary procurement professional within the W6QK Acc-pica office of the Department of the Army, supporting critical logistics and installation sustainment missions. She plays a vital role in executing contract actions for non-munitions facility and operational support services essential to maintaining military readiness. Her responsibilities include managing the acquisition lifecycle for base-wide services, ensuring compliance with federal procurement regulations, and aligning contract awards with strategic priorities in infrastructure resilience and force projection. She primarily handles service-based acquisitions under the Federal Acquisition Regulation, focusing on facility operations, environmental services, and installation maintenance contracts. Mears maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of prime contractors, including NORTHROP GRUMMAN SYSTEMS CORPORATION, GENERAL DYNAMICS OTS (WILKES BARRE), LLC, and PIONEERING DECISIVE SOLUTIONS INC, among others. These partnerships reflect a preference for established defense support vendors with proven capabilities in facility management, logistics support, and base services. Her contracting patterns indicate collaboration with both large defense contractors and mid-tier service providers, often leveraging blanket purchase agreements and indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) vehicles to ensure responsive, scalable support across multiple installations. Her procurement strategy demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with over 41% of awards designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, and nearly 10% reserved for service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses. Additional allocations support Economically Disadvantaged Women-Owned Small Businesses and 8(a) firms, reflecting a deliberate effort to broaden vendor diversity while maintaining operational reliability. These socioeconomic preferences are systematically integrated into solicitation planning and evaluation criteria. Mears’ primary procurement focus centers on facility services, with dominant NAICS codes in janitorial services, landscaping, solid waste collection, and building maintenance. Her expertise lies in acquiring mission-critical custodial, groundskeeping, and environmental support services that sustain Army installations, ensuring compliance with DoD sustainability and operational readiness standards. She specializes in service contracts that enable continuous base functionality, emphasizing performance-based outcomes and lifecycle cost efficiency.
