Faye Ritter

Faye Ritter serves as the Noncommissioned Officer in Charge (NCOIC) for Services & Commodities, overseeing the acquisition and management of mission-critical services and physical goods to support operational readiness. In this role, she plays a pivotal part in executing the agency’s procurement strategy by ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations, managing contract lifecycle activities, and aligning purchasing decisions with strategic operational objectives. Her portfolio primarily encompasses facility services, recreational infrastructure, and light construction support, with a focus on delivering high-value, low-risk acquisitions that meet mission requirements while maintaining fiscal accountability. Ritter cultivates collaborative relationships with a diverse range of vendors, including small businesses and general contractors specializing in hospitality, recreation, and electrical installation services. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, she consistently engages firms capable of delivering turnkey solutions across multiple service lines, favoring vendors with proven performance histories and strong compliance records. Her approach emphasizes reliability, responsiveness, and adherence to quality standards, fostering long-term partnerships built on transparency and consistent delivery. Ritter demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with nearly 43% of her awards structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. She actively prioritizes contracting opportunities for small businesses without favoring specific socioeconomic categories such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB, instead focusing on broad-based eligibility under the small business umbrella. This approach reflects a strategic emphasis on market competition and vendor diversity to enhance innovation and cost efficiency. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 721110 (hotels and motels), 713940 (fitness and recreational centers), 713990 (other amusement and recreation services), 711219 (other spectator sports), and 238210 (electrical contractors). These reflect a specialized expertise in managing facility operations, maintenance, and infrastructure upgrades for recreation and hospitality environments, requiring nuanced understanding of service-level agreements, performance metrics, and compliance with safety and accessibility standards.
