Donna Phillips

Donna Phillips serves as a Contracting Officer for the W7PA Uspfo Activity Pr Arng under the Department of the Army, where she is responsible for managing the acquisition lifecycle for mission-enabling facility and infrastructure projects supporting the Army National Guard. Her portfolio centers on ensuring operational readiness through the procurement of commercial and institutional building construction services, including barracks, training facilities, and logistics infrastructure. She plays a critical role in aligning contracting actions with the agency’s strategic priorities of sustaining secure, functional training environments and enabling force projection capabilities across the National Guard’s operational footprint. Phillips maintains established working relationships with key contractors including CH2M HILL - HDR JV and RAGLAN LLC, both of which have demonstrated consistent performance in delivering complex construction services under tight operational timelines. Her procurement approach emphasizes collaboration with experienced, high-performing contractors capable of meeting stringent military construction standards, while maintaining rigorous compliance with federal acquisition regulations. She fosters long-term vendor partnerships grounded in reliability, technical proficiency, and adherence to safety and sustainability benchmarks. A strong advocate for small business participation, Phillips consistently prioritizes socioeconomic set-asides, with approximately two-thirds of her acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5 and one-third competitively awarded to 8(a) certified firms. This pattern reflects a deliberate strategy to expand opportunities for disadvantaged small businesses while ensuring high-quality outcomes. Her contracting decisions are intentionally aligned with the Department of the Army’s socioeconomic goals, promoting equitable access to federal construction contracts. Her primary technical focus is on NAICS 236220, Commercial and Institutional Building Construction, where she procures turnkey construction services for military training and support facilities. Her expertise lies in managing design-build and construction management at-risk contracts, with deep familiarity in military construction codes, environmental compliance, and facility lifecycle management for federal installations.
