Candra M. Scott

Candra M. Scott serves as a key procurement lead within W6QM MICC Ft. McCoy (RC), a Department of the Army installation support unit responsible for sustaining mission-critical infrastructure and facilities operations. In this capacity, Scott manages a portfolio of service-based acquisitions focused on custodial, landscaping, and facility maintenance services essential to maintaining operational readiness and habitable conditions across military installations. Their work directly supports the agency’s mission to ensure safe, clean, and functional environments for personnel and training activities, with a strong emphasis on compliance with federal acquisition regulations and performance-based contracting standards. Scott maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors, including YUKON MANAGEMENT, LLC, MGS CONSTRUCTION SERVICES INC., OK2 CONSTRUCTION, LLC, RYAN HERRING CONSTRUCTION INC, and A & J CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT, LLC. These partnerships are primarily centered on performance-based service delivery under indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) and task order contracts, with a focus on reliability, quality assurance, and adherence to military installation standards. The contracting approach emphasizes long-term vendor collaboration, pre-qualified vendor lists, and rigorous performance evaluation to ensure sustained service excellence. A defining feature of Scott’s procurement strategy is an overwhelming commitment to small business participation, with 87.5% of acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, and an additional 12.5% designated for service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses (SDVOSB). This reflects a deliberate, data-driven alignment with Department of Defense socioeconomic goals and a consistent preference for small, locally responsive vendors capable of delivering timely, mission-critical support. The procurement focus is heavily concentrated in NAICS 561720 (Janitorial Services), accounting for 75% of activity, and NAICS 561730 (Landscaping Services), representing 25%. These categories reflect specialized expertise in facility sustainment, including waste management, groundskeeping, chemical sanitation, and exterior maintenance—core functions that directly impact troop readiness and installation compliance with environmental and safety regulations.
