Chelsea Lloyd

Chelsea Lloyd serves as a key procurement lead within the W7NK Uspfo Activity Mt Arng, a critical support unit under the Department of the Army responsible for sustaining the operational readiness and warrior wellness of Montana Army National Guard personnel. She manages a diverse portfolio of acquisitions centered on human-centric services, including food service operations, facility maintenance, medical support infrastructure, and lodging solutions. Her work directly enables mission-critical readiness by ensuring reliable access to essential quality-of-life services for Guard members. Lloyd handles full lifecycle contracting actions—from market research and solicitation development to award and performance monitoring—primarily under simplified acquisition procedures and micro-purchase thresholds, with a strong emphasis on responsive, mission-aligned vendor performance. While specific contractor names are not publicly available, Lloyd maintains consistent working relationships with a broad base of service providers specializing in military garrison support, including caterers, facility management firms, and maintenance contractors. Her procurement approach prioritizes agility and reliability, often engaging vendors with proven experience in austere or remote operational environments. She fosters collaborative partnerships with small and mid-sized businesses capable of delivering scalable, on-demand services tailored to the unique needs of the Montana National Guard. Lloyd demonstrates a pronounced commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with 80% of her acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. She actively leverages small business programs, including 8(a), HUBZone, and SDVOSB certifications, to maximize local economic impact and ensure diverse vendor participation. Her contracting patterns reflect a deliberate strategy to cultivate a resilient, community-based supplier network aligned with the Army’s broader small business goals. Her primary procurement focus centers on NAICS 722320 (Caterers), reflecting a heavy emphasis on meal services for garrison and field operations. She also procures specialized goods under NAICS 324110 (Petroleum Refineries) for fuel logistics, 336413 (Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing) for aviation support, and 339920 (Sporting and Athletic Goods Manufacturing) for physical readiness equipment. This technical breadth underscores her expertise in managing complex, multi-domain supply chains that support both daily operations and readiness training.
