Kathy Coleman

Kathy Coleman supports the procurement operations of the W7NZ USPFO Activity SC ARNG, a critical logistical node within the Department of the Army responsible for sustaining the readiness of South Carolina Army National Guard units. She manages acquisition activities centered on hospitality, dining, and facility support services essential to training, mobilization, and community engagement missions. Her work ensures uninterrupted operational sustainment through the timely procurement of mission-critical goods and services, aligning with Army logistics doctrine and federal acquisition regulations. She routinely handles task orders and indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contracts for non-tactical, quality-of-life support systems. Coleman maintains consistent contracting relationships with K & A Foodservice Inc. and DAVES DELI LLC, both of which provide institutional food service and catering solutions tailored to military training environments. These partnerships reflect a preference for local, responsive vendors capable of delivering scalable meal services under dynamic operational conditions. Her procurement approach emphasizes reliability, compliance with nutritional standards, and rapid contract execution to meet mission-critical timelines. A strong advocate for small business participation, Coleman consistently prioritizes Total Small Business Set-Aside contracts under FAR 19.5, with 75% of her acquisitions reserved for small businesses. This pattern underscores a deliberate strategy to foster regional economic resilience and enhance vendor diversity within the National Guard supply chain. Her contracting practices reflect a robust commitment to socioeconomic programs, ensuring equitable access for small, locally owned enterprises. Her procurement focus is concentrated in NAICS 423120 (motor vehicle supplies and parts wholesale), 333924 (industrial truck and stacker machinery), and 339920 (sporting and athletic goods manufacturing), with additional activity in 237310 (highway and bridge construction). These categories indicate expertise in acquiring maintenance equipment, training infrastructure components, and recreational gear essential to Guard readiness. Her domain knowledge spans logistical support systems, facility maintenance, and operational sustainment supply chains.
