Carmen Grissom

Carmen Grissom serves as a key procurement lead within the W6QM Micc-ft Campbell office under the Department of the Army, responsible for managing acquisitions that sustain garrison readiness at Fort Campbell and similar installations. Her work centers on securing critical infrastructure support services, including facility maintenance, utility systems, and environmental compliance, ensuring habitability and operational continuity for military personnel. She routinely handles task orders and indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contracts under FAR Part 16, with a focus on service-based procurements that align with the Army’s installation resilience goals. Grissom cultivates strategic partnerships with a diverse pool of vendors specializing in facility operations, industrial maintenance, and environmental services. While specific contractor names are not publicly disclosed, her procurement patterns reflect consistent engagement with mid-tier service providers and small businesses capable of delivering specialized technical support across multiple domains, including HVAC, waste management, and precision equipment repair. Her working relationships emphasize performance-based outcomes, long-term contract sustainment, and responsive vendor collaboration to meet dynamic garrison requirements. Her contracting approach demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic inclusion, with over 50% of awards designated for total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5 and nearly 39% reserved for women-owned small businesses. This reflects a deliberate strategy to broaden vendor participation and foster local economic resilience, while maintaining compliance with Department of Defense small business goals. No set-asides are allocated for 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs based on current data, but her portfolio remains highly inclusive of small business capabilities. Grissom’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 811210 for electronic and precision equipment repair and 811310 for commercial/industrial machinery maintenance, with significant activity in hazardous waste collection, septic system services, and air purification equipment manufacturing. Her technical expertise spans facility lifecycle support, environmental remediation, and mission-critical utility systems, making her a pivotal figure in sustaining the Army’s installation infrastructure through targeted, compliant, and small business-driven acquisitions.
