Katharine Shockley

Katharine Shockley serves as a key procurement lead within the W6QM Micc-ft Campbell, a critical component of the Department of the Army responsible for sustaining garrison infrastructure at Fort Campbell and similar installations. She manages acquisitions centered on mission-critical operational support services, including facility maintenance, utility systems, and habitability enhancements essential to military readiness. Her work ensures that living quarters, security perimeters, and base-wide infrastructure meet Army standards for safety, functionality, and resilience. Shockley specializes in complex service contracts requiring rigorous performance metrics and compliance with military construction and environmental regulations, often coordinating with engineers and logistics teams to align procurement with operational timelines. While specific contractor names are not publicly disclosed, Shockley consistently engages with a diverse pool of small business vendors, prioritizing partnerships that demonstrate technical proficiency in facility sustainment, utility management, and infrastructure modernization. Her contracting approach emphasizes long-term vendor reliability, performance-based service delivery, and adherence to stringent Army installation standards. She fosters collaborative relationships with contractors capable of rapid response, preventive maintenance, and compliance with Department of Defense environmental and safety protocols. Shockley maintains a 100% Small Business Set-Aside orientation under FAR 19.5, reflecting a robust commitment to socioeconomic contracting. All her acquisitions are reserved exclusively for small businesses, with a strong preference for firms certified under HUBZone, 8(a), and Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) programs. This pattern underscores a deliberate strategy to empower local and disadvantaged enterprises while building a resilient, geographically diverse supplier base capable of supporting forward-deployed garrison operations. Her procurement focus is narrowly concentrated on NAICS 336999—All Other Transportation Equipment Manufacturing—which, in this context, encompasses specialized military-grade infrastructure components such as modular housing units, mobile security shelters, and custom-engineered utility support systems. Shockley’s expertise lies in procuring non-standard, mission-tailored equipment that integrates with existing garrison systems, requiring deep technical understanding of military logistics, field-deployable infrastructure, and defense supply chain constraints.
