Juana M. Astudillo

Juana M. Astudillo serves as a Contracting Noncommissioned Officer at W6QM MICC-FDO Ft Hood under the Department of the Army, where she plays a critical role in executing acquisition strategies that sustain Fort Hood’s mission-critical infrastructure. She manages the full lifecycle of contracts for facility modernization, utilities maintenance, and garrison support services, ensuring compliance with federal procurement regulations while aligning with the installation’s operational readiness goals. Her portfolio primarily encompasses construction-related services and general government support functions, requiring precise technical oversight and adherence to Army installation standards. Astudillo 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 demonstrated expertise in military facility operations, HVAC systems, and integrated support services. Her procurement approach emphasizes reliability, past performance, and technical capability, fostering long-term vendor collaboration to ensure seamless delivery of essential garrison services. A strong advocate for small business participation, Astudillo prioritizes Women-Owned Small Businesses (WOSB) in approximately two-thirds of her acquisitions, consistently leveraging the WOSB Federal Contract Program to expand economic opportunity. Her contracting patterns reflect a deliberate and structured commitment to socioeconomic goals, with the remaining third of awards issued under no set-aside to accommodate specialized or urgent requirements where qualified small business alternatives are limited. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 238220 (Plumbing, Heating, and Air-Conditioning Contractors), reflecting deep expertise in mechanical systems maintenance and installation for military housing, administrative facilities, and operational buildings. She also frequently procures services under NAICS 921190 (Other General Government Support), demonstrating proficiency in managing complex, multi-disciplinary contracts that integrate facility management, logistics, and technical support services essential to sustaining Army garrison operations.
