Heidi Young

Heidi Young serves as a key procurement professional within the W6QK Siad Contracting Office, part of the Department of the Army, where she supports the sustainment of military installation infrastructure through strategic acquisition of industrial maintenance, construction, and equipment services. She manages a diverse portfolio of contracts focused on heavy machinery repair, fluid systems installation, electrical network upgrades, and facility trades, ensuring operational readiness across Army installations. Her work directly enables mission-critical infrastructure resilience by securing specialized technical services and equipment that maintain the functionality of complex military facilities. Heidi maintains consistent working relationships with core contractors including WESTEX GROUP, INC, GMP MANUFACTURING LLC, LALANDERS LLC, FSR CONSULTING LLC, and MORGAN INGLAND LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for established vendors with proven capabilities in industrial maintenance, custom fabrication, and technical consulting services. Her contracting approach emphasizes reliability, technical compliance, and performance history, fostering long-term vendor collaboration grounded in clear scope definition and rigorous oversight. Her procurement patterns reflect a balanced commitment to small business participation, with 40% of awards designated as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, while 60% remain open to all competitors. This approach ensures competitive market access while actively promoting socioeconomic inclusion through small business opportunities, without prioritizing specific set-aside programs such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB. Heidi’s primary procurement focus centers on NAICS codes 333414 (heating equipment manufacturing), 321920 (wood container and pallet manufacturing), and 333120 (construction machinery manufacturing), reflecting expertise in industrial equipment procurement and facility support systems. She also regularly acquires specialized services in computer training and equipment manufacturing, demonstrating technical fluency across mechanical, electrical, and logistical domains critical to Army infrastructure sustainment.
