Chrystal A. Artigue

Chrystal A. Artigue serves as a key procurement professional within the W6QM Micc-ft Riley office under the Department of the Army (W911RX), supporting the readiness and sustainment of Army installations through strategic acquisition of facilities and operational support services. She manages a diverse portfolio of contracts focused on infrastructure maintenance, environmental services, and mission-critical utilities, ensuring Army bases remain secure, functional, and habitable. Her work directly enables base operability by acquiring specialized services that sustain daily operations, from waste management to landscaping and industrial support systems, aligning closely with the agency’s mission to maintain resilient military environments. Artigue maintains a primary working relationship with CHENEGA BASE & LOGISTICS SERVICES LLC, a trusted contractor delivering comprehensive installation support services. Her procurement approach emphasizes long-term vendor partnerships grounded in reliability, compliance, and performance-based outcomes. While CHENEGA is the dominant contractor, she also engages a small pool of specialized vendors, fostering competition and innovation across niche service categories without over-reliance on any single provider. Her contracting patterns reflect a strong commitment to socioeconomic diversity, with 40% of acquisitions set aside for total small businesses under FAR 19.5 and 30% competitively awarded to 8(a) firms. An additional 10% is designated for women-owned small businesses, demonstrating a deliberate strategy to expand opportunities for underserved entrepreneurs while maintaining rigorous performance standards. No-set-aside contracts are used sparingly, reserved for unique or mission-critical requirements where competition is limited. Artigue’s procurement focus centers on NAICS 562111 (Solid Waste Collection) and 561730 (Landscaping Services), each accounting for 40% and 20% of activity, respectively. She also oversees acquisitions in 712110 (Museums) for cultural and historical site maintenance and 325120 (Industrial Gas Manufacturing) to support specialized base operations. Her expertise lies in managing complex, service-based contracts requiring technical coordination across environmental, safety, and logistical domains to sustain mission-critical Army infrastructure.
