Angela K. Chaplinski

Angela K. Chaplinski serves as a Contracting Officer at W6QM Micc-JB Lewis-McChord under the Department of the Army, where she plays a pivotal role in securing essential facilities and services to sustain the operational readiness of Joint Base Lewis-McChord. She manages a diverse portfolio of acquisitions centered on infrastructure maintenance, environmental compliance, and base operations support, ensuring mission-critical services are delivered in alignment with federal procurement regulations and strategic sustainability goals. Her work directly supports the base’s mission to maintain a secure, habitable, and energy-efficient environment for military and civilian personnel through timely and compliant contract execution. Chaplinski maintains a focused contracting relationship with the Port of Moses Lake as her primary contractor, reflecting a strategic partnership in delivering specialized services aligned with base needs. While her vendor base is relatively concentrated, she cultivates collaborative, performance-driven relationships with contractors who consistently meet stringent operational and regulatory standards. Her approach emphasizes accountability, compliance, and long-term service reliability over broad vendor diversification. Her procurement strategy demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic programs, with nearly 44% of her awards designated for 8(a) competed set-asides and over one-third allocated to total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. She also regularly utilizes Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) set-asides, reflecting a deliberate effort to empower disadvantaged and veteran-owned enterprises within the defense contracting ecosystem. Her primary procurement focus lies in Landscaping Services (NAICS 561730), which constitutes nearly half of her activity, followed by Computer Facilities Management Services (NAICS 541513) and Highway, Street, and Bridge Construction (NAICS 237310). She also frequently procures Environmental Consulting Services (NAICS 541620) and specialized maintenance services under NAICS 811219, demonstrating deep expertise in sustaining military infrastructure through integrated, mission-aligned contracting solutions.
