Keary O'Flaherty

Keary L. O’Flaherty serves as an Acquisition Support Specialist at the U.S. Army Engineering Support Center (W2V6), supporting the Department of the Army’s mission to sustain military readiness through integrated engineering and technical services. In this role, O’Flaherty provides critical procurement support for complex, mission-enabling contracts spanning IT infrastructure, facility modernization, environmental compliance, and operational logistics. They facilitate the full lifecycle of acquisition activities—from requirements validation and market research to contract administration and vendor coordination—ensuring alignment with FAR regulations and Army acquisition policies. Their work directly enables the delivery of resilient infrastructure and mission-critical services across domestic and overseas installations. O’Flaherty maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of prime contractors, including AMD International Technologies LLC, Constellation NewEnergy, Inc., MSL Housekeeping Services LLC, Boh Environmental, L.L.C., and Hydrogeologic, Inc. These partnerships reflect a focus on specialized technical services, energy solutions, facility maintenance, and environmental engineering. The contracting patterns indicate a preference for established vendors with proven expertise in delivering scalable, compliance-driven solutions, often under performance-based contract structures that emphasize outcomes over inputs. While the majority of acquisitions are conducted as open competition (76.9%), O’Flaherty demonstrates a deliberate commitment to socioeconomic programs, regularly awarding contracts under Total Small Business Set-Asides (15.4%) and Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business Set-Asides (7.7%). This reflects a strategic effort to broaden vendor diversity and enhance small business participation in mission-critical Army support functions. The procurement portfolio is heavily concentrated in NAICS 511210 (Software Publishers), reflecting a strong emphasis on custom software development and digital modernization. Additional focus areas include Other Computer Related Services (541519), Computer Facilities Management (541513), and Physical Sciences R&D (541715), underscoring expertise in IT systems integration, facility operations support, and engineering analysis services.
