Charles W. Hammons, Jr.

Charles W. Hammons, Jr. serves as a key procurement professional within the 0410 AQ HQ Contract Office of the Department of the Army, responsible for managing mission-enabling acquisitions that sustain operational readiness across Army installations and deployed environments. His work centers on securing critical logistical and support services—including hospitality, transportation, security, and administrative infrastructure—that ensure personnel welfare and continuous mission execution. He routinely handles complex contract actions under the Federal Acquisition Regulation, focusing on requirements that demand high reliability, scalability, and compliance with military standards. Hammons collaborates with a diverse range of vendors, including specialized providers in bottled water production, refrigerated storage, equipment leasing, and language services. While no single contractor dominates his portfolio, he maintains a consistent pattern of engaging qualified commercial suppliers capable of meeting stringent DoD quality and delivery requirements. His contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, delivery timelines, and supply chain resilience, fostering long-term vendor partnerships grounded in accountability and compliance. His procurement activity shows no use of socioeconomic set-asides, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic preference for maximizing market access and operational flexibility rather than targeting specific small business categories such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs. His approach prioritizes capability and capacity over socioeconomic criteria, aligning with the urgency and scale of force support requirements. Hammons specializes in NAICS categories including 312112 (bottled water manufacturing), 493120 (refrigerated warehousing), 532490 (commercial equipment leasing), and 541930 (translation and interpretation services). These reflect a niche but vital focus on sustainment logistics—ensuring clean water, temperature-controlled storage, mission-critical equipment availability, and multilingual communications support. His technical domain expertise lies in integrating these services into the broader Army installation and expeditionary support architecture.
