Debra L. Stokes

Debra L. Stokes serves as a Contracting Specialist within the W6QM Micc-ft Riley under the Department of the Army (W911RX), where she plays a pivotal role in securing essential facilities and operational support services critical to Army installation readiness. She manages a diverse portfolio of acquisitions spanning commercial and institutional construction, infrastructure maintenance, and specialized facility sustainment, ensuring that military bases remain secure, functional, and habitable. Her work directly supports the agency’s mission to maintain mission-critical infrastructure through compliant, efficient, and strategically aligned contracting practices. Stokes maintains a primary contracting relationship with CHENEGA BASE & LOGISTICS SERVICES LLC, a trusted vendor providing integrated base support services. Her procurement patterns reflect a preference for long-term, performance-based partnerships with established contractors capable of delivering complex, multi-disciplinary solutions in facilities management and construction support. While CHENEGA is the dominant contractor, she also engages with a small cohort of niche vendors to address specialized maintenance and operational needs, fostering reliability and continuity in mission-critical service delivery. A strong advocate for small business participation, Stokes consistently prioritizes Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, with approximately two-thirds of her awards designated for small businesses, including a significant portion allocated to Women-Owned Small Businesses. Her contracting approach actively promotes socioeconomic diversity, aligning with Department of Defense mandates to expand opportunities for underserved vendors while maintaining high standards of performance and accountability. Her technical expertise centers on NAICS codes 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), 237310 (Highway, Street, and Bridge Construction), and 811219 (Other Miscellaneous Building Equipment Contractors), reflecting a deep specialization in infrastructure modernization, site maintenance, and utility system support. She routinely procures construction, repair, and facility services that ensure the operational integrity of Army installations, demonstrating nuanced understanding of federal construction standards, sustainability requirements, and base-level logistics.
