Jeffery Harris

Jeffery Harris serves as a key procurement lead within the W6QM MICC-FDO at Fort Sam Houston, supporting the U.S. Army’s mission to sustain installation readiness through mission-critical base services. He is responsible for managing the full lifecycle of acquisitions related to dining and food service operations across military garrisons, ensuring compliance with federal procurement regulations and operational requirements. His work directly enables force readiness by securing reliable, high-quality dining solutions that meet Army standards for nutrition, safety, and scalability. Harris routinely handles firm-fixed-price and cost-reimbursement contracts under the Federal Acquisition Regulation, with a focus on long-term service contracts requiring stringent performance metrics and quality assurance protocols. His primary contractor relationship is with VETPRIDE SERVICES, INC., a small business vendor with deep expertise in military dining operations. Harris consistently partners with this contractor to deliver comprehensive food service solutions, including meal planning, catering, and facility management across Army installations. His procurement pattern reflects a preference for sustained, performance-based vendor partnerships rather than transactional engagements, fostering accountability and continuity in mission-critical services. Harris demonstrates a 100% commitment to small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, exclusively awarding contracts to small businesses without socioeconomic subcategories such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB being required—indicating a strong institutional preference for broad-based small business participation. This approach aligns with Army policy to empower economically disadvantaged entrepreneurs while maintaining operational reliability. His technical domain is exclusively focused on NAICS 722310, Food Service Contractors, where he specializes in procuring full-service dining operations, including mess hall management, mobile feeding units, and nutritionally compliant meal programs. He possesses deep expertise in evaluating contractor capabilities for large-scale food service logistics, hygiene compliance, and readiness-supporting operational tempo alignment.
