Ms. Andrea Schottenhammel

Ms. Andrea Schottenhammel serves as a key procurement lead within the 0409 Aq Hq Contract office of the Department of the Army, overseeing the acquisition of critical infrastructure and facility support services essential to sustaining U.S. Army garrisons and overseas installations. Her work ensures the operational readiness of military communities by managing contracts for facility maintenance, specialized construction, and mission-critical equipment servicing—particularly in European and deployed environments. She handles a diverse portfolio of acquisitions under the General Services Administration and Army Contracting Command frameworks, with a focus on long-term, performance-based contracts that prioritize reliability and mission continuity. Schottenhammel maintains consistent partnerships with major contractors including PAE Applied Technologies LLC and BSH HUISHUDAPPARATEN B.V., reflecting a preference for established, globally capable vendors with proven expertise in industrial equipment maintenance and large-scale facilities support. Her contracting patterns emphasize technical proficiency and sustained service delivery over short-term bidding cycles, fostering long-term vendor relationships built on performance metrics and compliance with military standards. These partnerships are typically non-competitive or limited competition, grounded in specialized capabilities not readily available within the small business base. Her procurement activity shows no use of socioeconomic set-asides, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a mission-driven focus on securing specialized capabilities where qualified small businesses are not currently viable, rather than socioeconomic targeting. While small business participation is not formally prioritized, her approach aligns with Department of Defense guidance on maintaining critical infrastructure readiness through proven, scalable vendors. Her primary NAICS focus areas include 333924 for industrial material handling equipment, 561210 for facilities support services, and 811310 for commercial and industrial machinery repair—indicating deep expertise in maintaining airfield systems, utility infrastructure, and logistics equipment. She also procures landscaping services and computer systems design to support garrison quality-of-life and operational command functions, demonstrating a holistic approach to installation sustainment.
