Jacqueline Garza

Jacqueline Garza serves as a Contracting Specialist at W6QM MICC-FDO Fort Hood, a key component of the Department of the Army responsible for sustaining mission-critical garrison infrastructure. In this role, she manages the full lifecycle of procurement actions for facility modernization, utilities maintenance, and technical systems support, ensuring compliance with FAR and DFARS regulations. Her acquisitions directly enable operational readiness by securing essential services and equipment for barracks, communications networks, and installation utilities. Garza specializes in complex service contracts requiring technical oversight and performance-based management, often coordinating with engineers and program managers to align procurement outcomes with strategic installation goals. Garza maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors including DTESS JV LLC, TLC SOLUTIONS, INC., GERLING & ASSOCIATES, INC., STERLING COMPUTERS CORPORATION, and GOVERNMENT ACQUISITIONS INC. These partnerships reflect a preference for established vendors with proven capability in facility systems integration, IT infrastructure support, and specialized maintenance services. Her contracting approach emphasizes vendor reliability, past performance evaluation, and technical compliance, fostering long-term collaborative relationships that support sustained operational continuity across Fort Hood’s mission-critical environments. While the majority of her acquisitions are conducted as open competitions (66.7% no set-aside), Garza actively supports small business participation through Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, consistently allocating approximately one-third of her portfolio to qualified small businesses. This pattern reflects a deliberate balance between operational urgency and socioeconomic objectives, ensuring competitive access for small firms without compromising mission requirements. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 325412 (Pharmaceutical Preparation Manufacturing), indicating a significant volume of contracts for medical supply chain support, including pharmaceuticals, medical kits, and related logistics services for garrison health operations. A secondary focus on NAICS 511210 (Software Publishers) underscores her involvement in procuring specialized software for facility management and maintenance tracking systems. Garza’s expertise spans both biomedical and IT domains, positioning her as a critical link between installation health readiness and digital infrastructure modernization.
