Elizabeth Phelps

Elizabeth Phelps serves as a Contract Specialist within the 0409 Aq Hq Contract office of the Department of the Army, where she plays a pivotal role in executing acquisition strategies that sustain operational readiness across U.S. Army garrisons and overseas installations. Her portfolio centers on facility maintenance, infrastructure resilience, and critical logistics support, managing full lifecycle contracts for construction, equipment servicing, and facility-related services. She ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while aligning procurements with the Army’s mission to maintain functional airfields, utilities, and housing infrastructure—particularly in high-priority European theaters. Her work directly supports the enduring operational tempo of military communities by securing timely, compliant, and mission-critical services. Elizabeth maintains enduring relationships with key contractors including PAE Applied Technologies LLC and BSH HUISHUDAPPARATEN B.V., partnering primarily with established firms capable of delivering complex, large-scale facility and logistics support across austere environments. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, requiring contractors to meet stringent technical and operational standards for maintenance, security, and infrastructure modernization. She frequently engages vendors with proven capabilities in military-grade facility operations and international logistics, fostering long-term, results-driven partnerships grounded in accountability and mission alignment. Elizabeth’s procurement portfolio reflects a strong preference for full and open competition, with 100% of her awards issued without set-aside designations. She does not routinely utilize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, instead prioritizing capability, capacity, and mission fit over socioeconomic classifications. This approach ensures access to specialized technical expertise required for high-stakes installations, particularly where rapid response and global scalability are essential. Her primary NAICS focus areas include Security Systems Services (561621), Other Metal Container Manufacturing (332439), Janitorial Services (561720), and Used Household and Office Goods Moving (484210), reflecting a broad but targeted procurement strategy centered on facility sustainment, security infrastructure, and logistical support. She possesses deep domain expertise in military facility operations, with a specialization in integrating security, environmental, and logistical systems to maintain readiness in deployed and garrisoned environments.
