Fitho Simplice

Fitho Simplice serves as a Contracting Specialist within the 0410 AQ HQ Contract office of the Department of the Army, where they play a critical role in securing mission-enabling services that sustain operational readiness across Army installations and deployed forces. Responsible for managing the full lifecycle of acquisitions, Fitho specializes in procuring heavy civil engineering, commercial construction, and hospitality support services essential to force welfare and infrastructure resilience. Their work directly supports the agency’s mandate to maintain reliable logistical, facility, and administrative systems that ensure continuity of operations in both garrison and expeditionary environments. Fitho collaborates with a diverse range of contractors specializing in construction, facility management, and hospitality services, fostering long-term partnerships with firms capable of delivering complex, multi-year projects under stringent military standards. While no single contractor dominates their portfolio, Fitho consistently engages vendors with proven expertise in federal construction compliance, environmental remediation, and force support operations. Their contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, rigorous source selection, and contract administration aligned with FAR and DFARS requirements. Fitho’s procurement strategy reflects a strong preference for full and open competition, with 100% of awards issued without set-aside designations. This indicates a focus on capability and capacity over socioeconomic categorization, though small business participation is not excluded—vendors are evaluated strictly on technical merit, past performance, and cost-effectiveness. Their approach prioritizes mission need over socioeconomic quotas, aligning with the agency’s emphasis on rapid, reliable service delivery. The majority of Fitho’s acquisitions fall under NAICS 237990 (Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction) and 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), with a significant portion also under 721110 (Hotels and Motels). This reflects deep expertise in infrastructure modernization, barracks and facility upgrades, and transient lodging services critical to troop readiness. Fitho’s domain knowledge spans construction management, facility sustainment, and hospitality operations within DoD regulatory frameworks.
