Cornelia T. Windecker

Cornelia Windecker serves as a Contract Specialist within the Department of the Army’s 0409 Aq Hq Contract office, where she manages the acquisition of critical infrastructure support services essential to sustaining military garrisons and overseas installations. Her responsibilities include planning, soliciting, negotiating, and administering contracts for facility maintenance, utilities distribution, and environmental systems—ensuring operational readiness across U.S. Army installations, particularly in Europe. She specializes in complex, mission-critical procurements that require technical precision and compliance with federal acquisition regulations, often coordinating with engineering and logistics teams to align contracting outcomes with installation resilience goals. Windecker maintains established relationships with key contractors including PAE Applied Technologies LLC and BSH Hausgeräte B.V., both of which provide specialized services in facility operations and utility infrastructure. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for long-term, performance-based agreements with experienced vendors capable of delivering integrated solutions across multiple domains, including power, gas, and wastewater systems. She frequently engages contractors with proven track records in military and DoD environments, prioritizing reliability, compliance, and scalable service delivery over transactional procurement. Her procurement portfolio is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition, indicating a focus on technical capability and mission necessity over socioeconomic preferences. While she does not prioritize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, her process remains fully compliant with all federal socioeconomic requirements, ensuring transparency and equitable access for all qualified offerors. Windecker’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 221122 (Electric Power Distribution) and 221210 (Natural Gas Distribution), with significant activity in sewage treatment (221320) and solid waste combustion (562213). She specializes in acquiring engineering services, utility system upgrades, and environmental compliance infrastructure, demonstrating deep expertise in energy and utility systems critical to military base sustainability and force protection.
