Courtney N. Zotto (Contract Specialist)

Courtney N. Zotto serves as a Contract Specialist within the W7NY Uspfo Activity Ri Arng, a critical support element of the Department of the Army responsible for sustaining Army National Guard readiness. In this role, she manages the full lifecycle of procurement actions for mission-critical infrastructure, communications systems, and quality-of-life services essential to unit preparedness. Her portfolio includes acquisitions for barracks modernization, tactical communications equipment, logistics support, and facility maintenance contracts, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and DoD policy. Zotto plays a pivotal role in translating operational requirements into enforceable contractual solutions that maintain force readiness across distributed National Guard installations. Zotto maintains a primary working relationship with ALLIED IMPERIUM GLOBAL, INC., a contractor consistently engaged for technical services and support solutions aligned with the agency’s sustainment mission. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for established vendors with proven capabilities in military-grade infrastructure and communications systems, indicating a reliance on experienced, non-traditional defense contractors with specialized technical expertise. These partnerships are typically formed through competitive sealed bidding and performance-based contract vehicles, emphasizing accountability and mission-critical delivery. Zotto’s procurement activity is exclusively conducted under open competition, with no set-asides designated for 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or other socioeconomic programs. This reflects a strategic focus on securing mission-essential capabilities through broad market competition, prioritizing technical suitability and operational readiness over socioeconomic preferences. While small business participation is not formally incentivized in her portfolio, all procurements remain fully compliant with FAR and DFARS requirements. Her primary procurement focus centers on facilities and infrastructure support, communications systems, and logistics services under NAICS categories including 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), 517312 (Wireless Telecommunications Carriers), and 541330 (Engineering Services). Zotto’s expertise lies in acquiring complex, mission-critical systems that enable operational continuity and force sustainability across geographically dispersed National Guard units.
