Grace Gonzalez

Grace Gonzalez serves as a key procurement lead within W6QM MICC-Fort Buchanan (RC), supporting the U.S. Army’s mission to sustain operational readiness through facility maintenance and infrastructure services. She manages a diverse portfolio of construction and support contracts essential to the daily functioning of military installations, including the repair and modernization of family housing, administrative buildings, and utility systems. Her acquisitions are strategically aligned with the Department of the Army’s priorities for compliance, safety, and long-term asset sustainability, focusing on service delivery that ensures mission continuity and quality of life for service members and their families. Gonzalez maintains consistent working relationships with established contractors such as Xenturis LLC and Action Environmental Contractors, Inc., who provide specialized facility maintenance, environmental remediation, and infrastructure support services. Her procurement approach emphasizes performance-based contracting and long-term vendor partnerships that deliver reliable, compliant outcomes. She frequently engages contractors with proven expertise in military installation operations, ensuring that deliverables meet stringent DoD standards for safety, environmental regulation, and operational readiness. Her contracting patterns reflect a strong commitment to socioeconomic diversity, with nearly 70% of awards directed toward small business set-asides—primarily HUBZone and total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This deliberate focus ensures meaningful participation from disadvantaged and geographically targeted businesses, reinforcing Army-wide goals for equitable contracting opportunities. The remaining awards are competitively open, balancing access with mission-critical requirements. Gonzalez’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), reflecting her leadership in facility modernization and repair projects. She also regularly procures services under NAICS 562920 (Materials Recovery Facilities) and 721110 (Hotels and Motels), supporting on-post lodging and waste management infrastructure. Her technical expertise spans construction management, environmental compliance, and facility operations, making her a critical link between installation needs and contractor execution.
