Ariana Mckoy

Ariana Mckoy serves as the primary contracting representative for W6QM MICC FDO Ft Bragg, a critical sustainment unit under the Department of the Army responsible for maintaining operational readiness at one of the nation’s largest military installations. In this role, she manages the full lifecycle of procurement actions for essential garrison services, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations while prioritizing mission-critical infrastructure support. Her acquisitions focus on specialized logistical and operational sustainment solutions, particularly those enabling daily base functionality, including lodging, food service, and facility maintenance, all aligned with the Army’s force readiness objectives. Mckoy maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of contractors, including Silver National Corp., A to B Creations Inc., and Tactical Electronics and Military Supply LLC. These partnerships reflect a pattern of engagement with niche vendors capable of delivering tailored, low-volume, high-precision goods and services suited to the unique demands of a high-tempo military installation. Her procurement approach emphasizes reliability, responsiveness, and technical specificity, favoring vendors with proven experience in military-grade operational support environments. She exhibits a 100% commitment to small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, ensuring all solicitations are reserved exclusively for small businesses, with no preference for other socioeconomic categories. This consistent application underscores a strategic emphasis on fostering local and specialized small business capacity within the defense supply chain, reinforcing the Army’s broader goals of economic resilience and vendor diversification. Her procurement portfolio is narrowly focused on NAICS 312113 (Ice Manufacturing), indicating a specialized need for chilled water and ice production systems critical to food safety, medical storage, and field operations at Fort Bragg. This highly specific technical domain reflects deep expertise in procuring industrial-grade refrigeration and cold chain infrastructure, demonstrating a nuanced understanding of the intersection between logistics, public health, and military operational requirements.
