Chante M. Fredrick

Chante M. Fredrick serves as a key procurement lead within the W6QK Acc-pica, a critical acquisition unit under the Department of the Army, where she manages contracts essential to sustaining military readiness through facility services, operational support, and logistics infrastructure. Her role centers on executing full lifecycle acquisition strategies for non-combat systems that enable force projection and base-wide operational continuity, with a focus on service-based contracts supporting installation sustainability and mission-enabling capabilities. She routinely handles complex procurements under FAR Part 12 and Part 13, balancing efficiency with compliance in high-volume, low-dollar-value contracting environments. Ms. Fredrick maintains consistent working relationships with major defense and services contractors including NORTHROP GRUMMAN SYSTEMS CORPORATION, GENERAL DYNAMICS OTS (WILKES BARRE), LLC, and PIONEERING DECISIVE SOLUTIONS INC, as well as specialized small businesses such as BIGELOW FAMILY HOLDINGS LLC and WISENGINEERING LLC. Her contracting approach emphasizes long-term vendor partnerships grounded in performance-based service delivery, with a preference for firms demonstrating proven capability in facility maintenance, logistics support, and technical services aligned with Army installation requirements. Her procurement portfolio reflects a strong commitment to socioeconomic diversity, with approximately 50% of contracts set aside for small businesses under FAR 19.5 and an additional 5% reserved for service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses. She actively prioritizes small business participation as a strategic enabler of resilience and innovation, consistently leveraging set-aside authorities to broaden vendor participation while maintaining rigorous performance standards. Ms. Fredrick’s primary acquisition focus lies in NAICS 721110 (hotels and motels) and 561730 (landscaping services), reflecting her oversight of installation quality-of-life and environmental maintenance contracts. She also manages specialized procurements in custom computer programming and systems design services, indicating technical expertise in supporting digital infrastructure for Army garrison operations. Her domain knowledge spans facility management, base services, and mission-critical support systems essential to sustaining Army readiness.
