Deneen K. Person

Deneen K. Person serves as a Contract Specialist within the W6QM Micc-jb Lewis-McChord under the Department of the Army, where she plays a pivotal role in executing facilities support services acquisitions critical to sustaining Joint Base Lewis-McChord’s operational readiness. Her responsibilities encompass the full lifecycle of contract actions—from requirements validation and market research to solicitation, award, and administration—ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and mission-driven objectives. She primarily manages contracts for base infrastructure support, including maintenance, janitorial, groundskeeping, waste management, and facility operations services, all aligned with the agency’s mandate to provide a secure, habitable, and environmentally compliant environment for military and civilian personnel. Deneen’s primary contractor relationship is with the Port of Moses Lake, a key partner in delivering facilities support services across the installation. Her procurement patterns reflect a preference for established, non-small business vendors with proven capacity to deliver large-scale, continuous-service contracts. She maintains consistent, long-term working relationships with contractors who demonstrate reliability, regulatory compliance, and the ability to meet stringent military facility standards, often through indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) and task-order mechanisms. Deneen’s contracting portfolio reflects a 100% no set-aside preference, indicating a strategic focus on full and open competition rather than socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs. This approach prioritizes mission-critical service continuity and scalability over socioeconomic targeting, aligning with the agency’s operational imperatives and the nature of its high-volume, mission-sustaining requirements. Her technical expertise is concentrated in NAICS 561210 (Facilities Support Services), where she specializes in procuring integrated facility management solutions including custodial, security support, energy management, and environmental compliance services. She brings deep domain knowledge in base operations sustainment, ensuring all acquisitions meet DoD standards for safety, efficiency, and readiness.
