Christie L. Davis-Burks

Christie L. Davis-Burks serves as a Contracting Specialist within the 0410 AQ HQ Contract office of the Department of the Army, where she plays a critical role in securing mission-enabling services that sustain operational readiness across Army installations and deployed forces. Her responsibilities encompass the full lifecycle of procurement activities—from market research and solicitation development to contract award and administration—for a diverse portfolio of logistical, facility, and hospitality support contracts. She ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while aligning acquisitions with the agency’s strategic priorities of personnel welfare, infrastructure resilience, and seamless mission continuity. Her work directly supports the delivery of essential services including housing, transportation, security, and administrative operations critical to force sustainment. Davis-Burks collaborates with a broad spectrum of vendors, including large-scale service providers and specialized contractors in facility management, utilities, and institutional support sectors. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, she consistently engages firms with proven capabilities in facility operations, utility distribution, and institutional hospitality services. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, clear statement of work definitions, and rigorous vendor evaluation to ensure reliability and accountability across mission-critical support functions. Her procurement patterns reflect a strong preference for full and open competition, with 100% of her acquisitions designated as “No Set-Aside.” This indicates a focus on selecting the most qualified offerors regardless of socioeconomic status, though she remains compliant with all statutory small business requirements. Her approach prioritizes capability and past performance over set-aside mechanisms, ensuring optimal value and mission alignment. Davis-Burks specializes in procuring services under key NAICS codes including 721110 (hotels and motels), 236220 (commercial building construction), 221122 (electric power distribution), 561710 (pest control), and 332215 (metal kitchenware manufacturing). Her technical expertise spans facility infrastructure, utility systems, institutional food service equipment, and environmental services, demonstrating deep familiarity with the operational needs of military installations and the unique regulatory environment governing Army support contracts.
