Andrea Lucas

Andrea Lucas serves as a secondary procurement contact within the Department of the Army’s 0409 Aq Hq Contract office, supporting the operational sustainment of U.S. Army installations across Europe and other deployed theaters. While not the primary contracting officer, she plays a critical role in facilitating acquisition planning, vendor coordination, and contract administration for facility and infrastructure support services. Her work ensures the timely delivery of essential maintenance, utilities, and environmental services that underpin military readiness and garrison resilience. She routinely interfaces with contractors on complex, mission-critical procurements requiring technical compliance with military infrastructure standards and international operational requirements. Lucas maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors including PAE Applied Technologies LLC and BSH HUISHUDAPPARATEN B.V., leveraging their expertise in facility operations, logistics support, and specialized equipment servicing. Her procurement patterns reflect a preference for established, multi-national vendors with proven track records in austere and overseas environments, indicating a focus on reliability, scalability, and compliance with NATO and U.S. Army regulatory frameworks. These partnerships are typically structured as indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) or performance-based service contracts, emphasizing outcome-driven deliverables over prescriptive task orders. Lucas’s acquisition portfolio exhibits no set-aside preferences, with 100% of contracts awarded under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic emphasis on mission urgency and global vendor capacity over socioeconomic targeting, aligning with the high-demand, low-latency needs of overseas garrison operations. While small business participation is not formally prioritized, her processes remain compliant with FAR Part 19 requirements, and small business engagement occurs incidentally through subcontracting or teaming arrangements. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 562111 (solid waste collection), 561710 (pest control), 221121 (electric bulk power transmission), 611710 (educational support services), and 561210 (facilities support services). These categories reflect a broad operational footprint requiring integrated environmental, utility, and infrastructure maintenance services—particularly for airfields, barracks, and energy systems in deployed locations. Her domain expertise centers on sustaining mission-critical facilities under austere conditions with stringent regulatory and security constraints.
