Farrell L. Howard

Farrell L. Howard serves as a Contract Specialist within the W6QM MICC FDO Ft Bragg under the Department of the Army, responsible for managing the full lifecycle of mission-critical procurement actions that sustain base infrastructure and garrison operations. He executes complex acquisitions aligned with FAR Part 19 small business set-asides and coordinates with technical stakeholders to ensure contracts support Fort Bragg’s operational readiness, including lodging, food service, environmental remediation, and logistics support. His portfolio primarily consists of service-based contracts requiring stringent compliance with military installation standards and rapid response capabilities to dynamic garrison needs. Howard maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors including SILVER NATIONAL CORP., A TO B CREATIONS INC, and TACTICAL ELECTRONICS AND MILITARY SUPPLY L.L.C., who provide specialized services in environmental remediation, facility support, and military-grade equipment supply. His procurement approach emphasizes performance-based contracting, clear statement of work development, and vendor accountability through robust contract administration. He fosters long-term partnerships with vendors capable of delivering scalable, secure, and compliant solutions tailored to the unique demands of a high-activity military installation. A strong advocate for socioeconomic contracting, Howard consistently prioritizes small business participation, with nearly half of his acquisitions structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5 and an equal emphasis on HUBZone set-asides. This reflects a deliberate strategy to cultivate regional economic resilience and ensure that disadvantaged businesses in designated areas contribute meaningfully to mission support. His contracting patterns demonstrate a disciplined adherence to socioeconomic goals while maintaining rigorous performance standards. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 562910 (Remediation Services) and 493110 (General Warehousing and Storage), reflecting his expertise in environmental cleanup, hazardous material management, and secure logistics operations. He routinely procures services related to soil and groundwater remediation, storage and distribution of military supplies, and infrastructure support systems essential to sustaining active-duty operations.
