Frances A. De Gori

Frances A. De Gori serves as a key procurement professional within the 0410 AQ HQ Contract Office of the Department of the Army, supporting the sustainment of mission-critical infrastructure for Army installations and deployed forces. Responsible for managing a diverse portfolio of service contracts, she ensures the availability of essential logistical, hospitality, administrative, and communications support systems that underpin operational readiness and personnel welfare. Her acquisitions primarily focus on non-tactical, mission-enabling services, including facility operations, management consulting, and communications equipment procurement, all aligned with the Army’s strategic imperative to maintain resilient, scalable support networks across garrison and expeditionary environments. While specific contractor names are not available, De Gori maintains a balanced vendor ecosystem that includes both large-capacity service providers and small business concerns, fostering competitive environments that prioritize performance, reliability, and compliance with federal acquisition regulations. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for open competition, with a significant portion of awards issued under total small business set-asides, indicating a strong emphasis on vendor diversity and market development. She routinely engages with firms capable of delivering integrated hospitality, administrative, and technical support services under performance-based contracting frameworks. De Gori demonstrates a robust commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with over 44% of her awards directed toward small business set-asides, including 33.3% under FAR 19.5 total small business set-asides and 11.1% awarded through 8(a) competed pathways. Her use of local area set-asides further reflects an intentional effort to stimulate regional economic development and enhance supply chain resilience. These patterns underscore her alignment with DoD-wide goals to expand small business participation while maintaining mission effectiveness. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 721110 (hotel and motel services), NAICS 541611 (management consulting), and NAICS 334220/334517 (communications equipment manufacturing), indicating deep expertise in procuring lodging, operational support services, and specialized radio and irradiation apparatus systems. This technical breadth enables her to manage complex, multi-disciplinary contracts that bridge facility operations with advanced communications infrastructure, ensuring seamless support for both garrison and deployed Army units.
