Francesca L. Hemphill

Francesca L. Hemphill serves as a Contract Officer with the W6QM MICC FDO Ft Bragg under the Department of the Army, responsible for managing mission-critical acquisitions that sustain the operational readiness of one of the U.S. military’s largest installations. Her portfolio encompasses a diverse range of services essential to garrison infrastructure, including facility support, logistics, and base-wide operational services. She executes full lifecycle contract actions—from solicitation and source selection to award and administration—ensuring compliance with FAR, DFARS, and Army-specific procurement policies. Hemphill’s work directly supports the agency’s mission to maintain secure, functional, and sustainable environments for active-duty personnel and support staff. Hemphill maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors, including SILVER NATIONAL CORP., A TO B CREATIONS INC, and TACTICAL ELECTRONICS AND MILITARY SUPPLY L.L.C., each of which provides specialized services aligned with installation sustainment needs. Her procurement patterns reflect a preference for established vendors with proven track records in military logistics, advertising, and facility maintenance, though she actively engages new entrants through targeted outreach and set-aside opportunities. Her approach balances reliability with innovation, fostering long-term vendor partnerships grounded in performance accountability and regulatory compliance. Hemphill demonstrates a deliberate commitment to small business participation, with 20% of her awards structured under the SBA Certified Economically Disadvantaged Women-Owned Small Business (EDWOSB) program. While the majority of her acquisitions—80%—are conducted as full and open competitions, she strategically leverages socioeconomic set-asides to expand the vendor base and promote equitable access to federal contracting opportunities for underrepresented businesses. Her primary procurement focus spans three NAICS categories: 541810 (Advertising Agencies), 811219 (Other Personal Services), and 237310 (Highway, Street, and Bridge Construction). This triad reflects her expertise in acquiring communication and public affairs services, facility maintenance and custodial support, and critical infrastructure upgrades. Hemphill’s technical domain expertise lies at the intersection of military garrison operations and civilian service delivery, ensuring that contracting solutions meet both operational urgency and regulatory rigor.
