Anthony J. Sligar

Anthony Sligar serves as a Small Business Specialist at W6QM Micc-ft Drum under the Department of the Army, where he plays a pivotal role in advancing socioeconomic goals within the agency’s procurement ecosystem. He supports the acquisition of specialized sporting, athletic, and industrial goods critical to soldier readiness, training, and logistical sustainment. Sligar ensures compliance with FAR Part 19 regulations by facilitating small business participation across the full lifecycle of contract actions—from market research and solicitation design to award and performance monitoring. His work directly enables the agency’s mission to equip Army units with durable, high-performance equipment through equitable and transparent contracting practices. Sligar maintains strong, recurring relationships with a core group of contractors including VPB LLC, LEGACY MANAGEMENT SOLUTIONS LLC, AMD INTERNATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES LLC, LARC INDUSTRIES INC, and MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for established small businesses with proven capabilities in manufacturing, construction, and technical services. His approach emphasizes long-term vendor engagement, collaborative pre-solicitation outreach, and performance-based contract structures that incentivize quality and reliability in mission-critical supply chains. A staunch advocate for small business inclusion, Sligar consistently prioritizes Total Small Business Set-Asides (60%), with a significant portion allocated to 8(a) competed procurements (20%). His contracting patterns reflect a deliberate strategy to maximize socioeconomic impact, actively leveraging set-aside authorities to foster growth among disadvantaged, veteran-owned, and HUBZone-certified firms. He avoids non-set-aside awards unless justified by unique technical requirements or narrow market availability, reinforcing the agency’s commitment to equitable opportunity. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 314994 (Rope, Cordage, and Tire Fabric Mills), 339920 (Sporting and Athletic Goods Manufacturing), 237310 (Highway, Street, and Bridge Construction), and 611699 (Miscellaneous Instruction). These categories underscore his technical expertise in procuring durable field equipment, training infrastructure, and specialized fabrication services essential to Army operational readiness. Sligar’s domain knowledge ensures acquisitions align with military specifications and performance standards.
