Harry W. Shatto

Harry W. Shatto serves as a Contract Specialist at the W6QM Micc-ft Belvoir under the Department of the Army, where he plays a critical role in executing mission-enabling acquisitions to sustain Army installation readiness. His responsibilities encompass the full lifecycle management of service contracts supporting facility operations, including janitorial, landscaping, HVAC, religious support, and building systems maintenance. Shatto ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while aligning procurements with the agency’s mission to maintain safe, functional, and compliant military infrastructure. He routinely handles task orders and indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contracts under FAR Part 16, prioritizing performance-based outcomes and cost-effective service delivery. Shatto maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of vendors specializing in installation support services, including Discount Tree Service, Inc., ACE Uniform Services, Inc., Liberty Communications, Inc., and Special Event Flooring Technology, LLC. These partnerships reflect a pattern of sustained engagement with niche service providers capable of delivering specialized, on-site capabilities across diverse military installations. His procurement approach emphasizes reliability, local responsiveness, and technical proficiency in niche service domains, fostering long-term vendor collaboration grounded in performance metrics and contract compliance. His contracting patterns demonstrate a strong preference for open competition, with 61.5% of awards issued without set-asides. However, he actively promotes small business participation, allocating 26.9% of awards to total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5 and 7.7% to 8(a) competed contracts, with additional support for women-owned small businesses. This balanced approach ensures broad market access while meeting statutory small business goals and fostering economic resilience within the defense support ecosystem. Shatto’s primary NAICS focus areas include 315210 (cut and sew apparel contracting), 611430 (professional and management development training), 541611 (administrative management consulting), 488190 (air transportation support), and 111940 (hay farming)—reflecting a diverse portfolio spanning uniform procurement, workforce development, facility consulting, logistical support, and grounds maintenance. His expertise lies in procuring mission-critical, non-commodity services essential to daily installation operations, demonstrating deep familiarity with the intersection of military infrastructure needs and specialized service delivery.
