Judy Higgs

Judy Higgs serves as a key procurement lead within the W6QM Micc-ft Carson office under the Department of the Army, specializing in mission-critical support acquisitions for elite special operations forces, particularly the 10th Special Forces Group (A). She manages a diverse portfolio of contracts focused on logistical, instructional, and infrastructure services tailored to austere, cold-weather, and high-altitude operational environments. Her work directly enables training readiness and operational sustainability in remote, demanding theaters by ensuring timely delivery of specialized equipment and contractor-provided expertise. Higgs routinely handles complex service-based acquisitions requiring stringent compliance with military standards and expeditionary logistics protocols. Her contractor relationships center on niche, mission-aligned vendors with proven capabilities in expeditionary support. She maintains consistent partnerships with TRONCONI SEGARRA & ASSOCIATES LLP for training and operational planning services, ALEUT FIELD SERVICES, LLC for field logistics in extreme climates, VISION DISTRIBUTORS LLC for specialized equipment distribution, ANYONE NOT READY LLC for unconventional readiness solutions, and ROD'S ALASKAN BIG GAME & WILDERNESS GUIDE SERVICES LLC for wilderness survival and cold-weather instruction. These partnerships reflect a deliberate preference for contractors with domain-specific experience in remote, non-standard environments rather than traditional defense primes. Higgs maintains a 100% small business set-aside preference across all solicitations, fully leveraging FAR 19.5 to prioritize small business participation. Her contracting patterns consistently favor service-disabled veteran-owned, HUBZone, and economically disadvantaged small businesses with niche operational expertise, reinforcing the agency’s commitment to socioeconomic diversity and mission-specific capability development through the small business base. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 561920 (Convention and Trade Show Organizers), reflecting her management of specialized training events, field exercises, and readiness symposia, alongside NAICS 813110 (Religious Organizations), which supports culturally sensitive and morale-boosting services for deployed units. This unique blend underscores her technical expertise in procuring non-traditional but operationally essential services that sustain soldier readiness in isolated, high-stress environments.
