Chase Coughlan

Chase Coughlan 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 forces. His work centers on securing logistical, facility, and administrative support services critical to personnel welfare and mission continuity, including hospitality, transportation, security, and communications infrastructure. He handles a diverse portfolio of contract actions under FAR Part 13 and Part 15, often involving complex requirements for integrated service delivery and long-term sustainment solutions. While specific contractor names are not publicly disclosed, Coughlan maintains consistent engagement with a broad base of vendors capable of delivering specialized manufacturing and support services, particularly those with expertise in facility systems, communications hardware, and institutional equipment. His procurement approach emphasizes performance-based contracting and vendor collaboration to ensure reliability and scalability across austere and garrison environments. Coughlan demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with 40% of his acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, reflecting a deliberate strategy to foster economic opportunity and enhance supply chain resilience. He routinely prioritizes small disadvantaged businesses, HUBZone firms, and service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses, aligning with Army-wide socioeconomic goals while maintaining competitive rigor in source selection. His primary technical focus lies in manufacturing sectors including prefabricated metal building systems, institutional furniture, computer peripheral equipment, radio and wireless communications hardware, and fiber optic cabling. These NAICS-driven acquisitions reflect deep expertise in procuring durable, mission-critical infrastructure components that support both fixed-base operations and expeditionary environments, ensuring interoperability, security, and long-term maintainability of Army support systems.
