Cynthia Thompson

Cynthia Thompson serves as a procurement lead for specialized vehicle and logistical support assets at W7NN USPFO Activity NH ARNG, a Department of the Army unit responsible for sustaining Army National Guard readiness. Her role centers on acquiring and managing mission-critical ground equipment, particularly heavy-duty vehicle components such as dump truck beds for the 2001 Freightliner FL70 model, ensuring operational continuity during training and field deployments. She manages the full acquisition lifecycle—from requirements validation to contract award and performance monitoring—focusing on durable, militarily-specified hardware that supports mobility, maintenance, and infrastructure resilience in austere environments. Thompson maintains a consistent working relationship with QII Solutions LLC, a key vendor providing specialized vehicle refurbishment, modification, and parts integration services. Her procurement pattern reflects a preference for established contractors with proven expertise in military-grade vehicle systems, emphasizing reliability, compliance with technical specifications, and rapid turnaround for urgent operational needs. While she engages primarily with experienced industry partners, her approach remains open to qualified small businesses that meet stringent performance and certification standards. Her contracting portfolio reflects a balanced approach to socioeconomic set-asides, with nearly half of her awards designated for total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, indicating a strong commitment to expanding opportunities for small businesses without compromising mission readiness. While no single socioeconomic category dominates, her pattern suggests deliberate inclusion of qualified small businesses across multiple categories, aligning with DoD-wide initiatives to broaden vendor diversity. Thompson’s primary NAICS focus is 336120 (Heavy Duty Truck Manufacturing), reflecting her specialization in military vehicle chassis and body systems. She also procures related services under NAICS 811121 for automotive repair and maintenance, and occasionally supports logistics needs through food service and flight training contractors to ensure holistic operational support. Her technical expertise lies in the integration of commercial-off-the-shelf vehicle components into military-specific configurations, requiring deep familiarity with Army technical manuals and defense logistics standards.
