Cedric Hargrove

Cedric Hargrove serves as a key procurement professional within the W6QM MICC-FDO at Fort Sam Houston, supporting the U.S. Army’s mission to sustain installation readiness through strategic acquisition of facilities and infrastructure services. He manages a portfolio of contract actions focused on engineering design, environmental compliance, and base operations support, ensuring that garrison infrastructure remains mission-ready. His work directly enables the Army’s strategic priorities in modernizing military installations by delivering timely, compliant, and technically sound solutions that align with federal acquisition regulations and force readiness objectives. Hargrove maintains a consistent working relationship with VETPRIDE SERVICES, INC., a primary contractor delivering specialized engineering and environmental services across Army installations. His procurement approach emphasizes long-term vendor partnerships built on performance reliability and regulatory adherence, fostering collaboration with firms capable of executing complex, multi-disciplinary tasks under tight operational timelines. These relationships are cultivated through competitive, transparent processes that prioritize technical capability and past performance. His contracting patterns reflect a strong commitment to socioeconomic goals, with over two-thirds of his acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5 and one-third awarded through 8(a) competed pathways. This pattern demonstrates a deliberate strategy to expand opportunities for small disadvantaged businesses while ensuring high-quality service delivery. His consistent use of 8(a) set-asides underscores a focus on capacity building within the small business community. Hargrove’s primary technical focus lies in NAICS 541330 (Engineering Services) and 541620 (Environmental Consulting Services), where he procures design, construction oversight, hazardous material assessments, and sustainability planning. His expertise centers on mission-critical infrastructure projects requiring compliance with environmental regulations, energy efficiency standards, and military construction codes, ensuring installations meet both operational and regulatory benchmarks.
