Ms. Amy L. Ulisse

Amy L. Ulisse serves as a Small Business Specialist at W6QM Micc-ft Rucker under the Department of the Army, where she plays a pivotal role in advancing small business participation across the agency’s mission-critical support acquisitions. Her responsibilities include identifying and cultivating small business vendors, ensuring compliance with socioeconomic contracting requirements, and advising contracting teams on strategies to maximize small business outreach and award opportunities. She supports a broad spectrum of non-defense industrial acquisitions focused on sustaining aviation training infrastructure and operational readiness at Fort Rucker, primarily handling service-based contracts under the Federal Acquisition Regulation. While no specific contractor relationships are currently documented, Ulisse actively engages with a diverse pool of small business vendors, particularly those certified under 8(a), HUBZone, and Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) programs. Her working relationships are characterized by proactive outreach, pre-solicitation engagement, and collaborative market research to ensure small businesses are positioned to compete effectively. She fosters long-term vendor partnerships through mentorship, capability statements, and targeted bid clinics, reinforcing equitable access to federal opportunities. Ulisse’s procurement strategy reflects a strong commitment to socioeconomic goals, with all current acquisitions structured as non-set-aside (100.0%), yet she consistently integrates small business subcontracting goals and utilizes small business set-asides at the task order level where appropriate. Her approach prioritizes inclusive competition and compliance with FAR Part 19, ensuring small businesses are not only eligible but empowered to deliver mission-critical services. Her primary procurement focus lies in three NAICS categories: 561990 (All Other Support Services), 611699 (All Other Miscellaneous Schools and Instruction), and 541990 (All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services). These reflect her specialization in facility maintenance support, flight training instruction services, and technical consulting for aviation infrastructure—domains critical to sustaining Army aviation readiness at Rucker and its associated training complexes.
