Christine Epps

Christine Epps serves as a key procurement lead within the W39L USA Readiness Center, supporting the Department of the Army’s mission to sustain military readiness through expert contracting for technical, operational, and administrative services. She manages a diverse portfolio of acquisitions focused on aviation infrastructure, air traffic control systems, flight training support, and specialized maintenance services critical to force preparedness. Her role involves end-to-end contract lifecycle management—from requirement validation and market research to solicitation issuance and award execution—ensuring alignment with Army modernization priorities and operational readiness goals. Epps consistently prioritizes mission-critical capabilities that enhance command and control, training fidelity, and facility sustainment across expeditionary and garrison environments. Epps maintains a primary contracting relationship with KPH Construction Corp, a trusted vendor delivering specialized infrastructure and facility support services. Her procurement patterns reflect a preference for established contractors with proven technical expertise in aviation-related construction and maintenance, indicating a reliance on experienced partners capable of meeting stringent military standards. While KPH Construction Corp is the dominant awardee, her portfolio suggests a broader ecosystem of qualified vendors capable of delivering high-integrity engineering and technical services under tight operational timelines. Epps’ contracting activity is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic emphasis on technical capability and performance history over socioeconomic preferences, indicating a procurement environment where mission necessity and service quality take precedence over targeted small business set-asides. While small business participation is not formally prioritized in her portfolio, all awards adhere to federal acquisition regulations and competitive fairness standards. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 488111 (Air Traffic Control Systems) and 811219 (Other Support Activities for Air Transportation), each accounting for 40% of her acquisitions, alongside 20% in NAICS 611512 (Flight Training). She procures advanced avionics integration, airfield operations support, simulator maintenance, and specialized flight training services, demonstrating deep domain expertise in military aviation readiness systems and infrastructure sustainment.
