Dianne Grimes

Dianne Grimes serves as a key procurement lead within the W6QM MICC-FDO Ft Hood, supporting the Department of the Army’s mission to sustain and modernize critical military infrastructure. She manages engineering and technical service acquisitions essential to maintaining garrison readiness, including facility systems, utilities, communications, and life-cycle maintenance programs. Her procurement activities are strategically aligned with the agency’s focus on operational resilience, ensuring that installation assets—from barracks to mission-critical utilities—remain functional, secure, and compliant with DoD standards. Grimes specializes in complex, performance-based contracts requiring technical oversight and long-term service delivery frameworks. She maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors including DTESS JV LLC, TLC SOLUTIONS, INC., GERLING & ASSOCIATES, INC., STERLING COMPUTERS CORPORATION, and GOVERNMENT ACQUISITIONS INC. These partnerships reflect a preference for established firms with demonstrated expertise in military facility engineering, IT infrastructure, and maintenance support services. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance metrics, technical compliance, and contract administration rigor, fostering reliable vendor performance across mission-critical projects. Grimes demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with 8(a) competed set-asides accounting for two-thirds of her acquisitions. This pattern underscores a deliberate strategy to cultivate capacity among socioeconomically disadvantaged businesses while maintaining high standards for technical capability. The remaining third of contracts are awarded under open competition, balancing small business goals with the need for specialized expertise and scalable delivery. Her procurement portfolio is exclusively focused on NAICS 541330 (Engineering Services), reflecting deep specialization in facility engineering, infrastructure modernization, and systems integration for military installations. She procures services such as architectural and engineering design, electrical and mechanical systems upgrades, cybersecurity-enabled facility controls, and utilities lifecycle management—all tailored to sustain Fort Hood’s operational tempo and force readiness.
