Carol J. Koenig

Carol J. Koenig serves as Supervisor, Contract Specialist, within the W7N2 USPFO Activity TX ARNG under the Department of the Army, where she oversees the planning, solicitation, and award of contracts critical to sustaining Texas Army National Guard readiness. Her role encompasses the full lifecycle of acquisition activities—from market research and requirement validation to contract execution and closeout—ensuring compliance with FAR and DoD regulations. She primarily manages service-based acquisitions supporting medical, logistical, and operational sustainment functions, with a strong emphasis on civilian support services that enable force projection and reintegration. Koenig maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of contractors including PIKA INTERNATIONAL, INC., TESFAYE LLC, BONUS ENVIRONMENTAL LLC, and THE SUNRISE TORTILLA INC., reflecting a preference for established vendors with proven capacity in niche support domains. Her contracting patterns indicate a focus on long-term, performance-based partnerships rather than transactional procurement, fostering reliability in mission-critical service delivery across medical, environmental, and food service operations. A staunch advocate for small business participation, Koenig consistently prioritizes Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, with 88.2% of her awards reserved for small businesses. This reflects a deliberate strategy to maximize socioeconomic impact and ensure broad vendor engagement, aligning with DoD’s mandate to enhance opportunities for small, disadvantaged, and community-based firms. Her contracting portfolio demonstrates minimal use of full and open competition, underscoring a structured commitment to inclusive procurement practices. Her primary NAICS focus areas include 621498 (other outpatient care centers), 722320 (caterers), and 333924 (industrial material handling equipment manufacturing), indicating deep expertise in procuring specialized medical and dental services, on-site food support for training and deployment environments, and maintenance equipment essential to field operations. Koenig’s technical domain centers on integrated sustainment solutions that directly support the readiness and quality of life for Texas ARNG personnel.
