Cathy Rogers

Cathy Rogers serves as a key procurement lead within the W6QM Micc-ft Knox under the Department of the Army, supporting the readiness and quality of life for military personnel through the acquisition of critical hospitality, food service, and recreational infrastructure. She manages a diverse portfolio of contracts focused on sustaining troop welfare, ensuring operational continuity, and enhancing morale through the procurement of lodging, dining, and leisure services. Her work directly enables the Army’s mission to maintain high operational tempo by securing essential non-combat support systems that underpin daily life for service members and their families. Rogers specializes in complex service-based acquisitions governed by FAR Part 12 and Part 37, often involving long-term, performance-based contracts with integrated facility management requirements. She maintains strong, recurring relationships with a select group of trusted contractors, including CHENEGA GOVERNMENT MISSION SOLUTIONS, LLC, OCS-NCS JV II, LLC, and SPACE AGE ENGINEERING, INC, all of which provide integrated food service, lodging operations, and recreational support. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance metrics, quality assurance, and continuity of service, fostering long-term vendor partnerships built on reliability and compliance with military standards. C.R. & A. CUSTOM APPAREL INC. is also a consistent partner for specialized uniform and apparel needs tied to morale, welfare, and recreation programs. Rogers demonstrates a pronounced commitment to small business participation, with over two-thirds of her acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, and nearly one-third designated specifically for service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses. Her procurement patterns reflect a deliberate strategy to expand economic opportunity within the military community by prioritizing socioeconomically disadvantaged firms. Her primary technical focus lies in NAICS 311991 (Perishable Prepared Food Manufacturing) and 722310 (Food Service Contractors), reflecting deep expertise in managing large-scale, on-site food preparation and service delivery systems within military installations. She ensures compliance with DoD nutritional standards, food safety protocols, and logistical constraints unique to garrison environments.
