Fanta Cooper

Fanta Cooper serves as a key procurement lead within the W7NV Uspfo Activity Ok Arng, a critical support unit of the Department of the Army responsible for sustaining the operational readiness of the Oklahoma Army National Guard. In this role, Cooper manages acquisition strategies for mission-critical logistical and quality-of-life services, ensuring that training environments, facility infrastructure, and subsistence operations remain fully resourced and compliant with federal contracting standards. Their portfolio primarily encompasses industrial maintenance, communications equipment, and material handling machinery, aligning directly with the agency’s mandate to preserve force readiness through reliable, mission-essential support systems. Cooper cultivates strategic partnerships with a diverse base of vendors, including specialized repair and maintenance firms, industrial equipment manufacturers, and wireless communications suppliers. While no single contractor dominates the award profile, the contracting pattern reflects a balanced approach that prioritizes technical capability, geographic responsiveness, and compliance with socioeconomic requirements. Vendor relationships are characterized by consistent recompetition and performance-based evaluations, reinforcing accountability and service quality across the supply chain. A pronounced commitment to small business participation is evident in Cooper’s procurement patterns, with approximately half of all solicitations structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, while the remaining half remain open to all competitors. This dual-track approach ensures robust market competition while actively fostering opportunities for small, disadvantaged, and locally-based enterprises to contribute to national guard sustainment efforts. The procurement focus centers on NAICS 811310 for commercial and industrial machinery repair, 334220 for radio and wireless communications equipment manufacturing, and 333924 for industrial truck and material handling machinery. These categories reflect deep technical expertise in maintaining field-deployable logistics infrastructure, ensuring that equipment used in annual training and emergency response remains operational, safe, and mission-ready.
