Kenneth Coaxum

Kenneth Coaxum serves as a Contract Specialist with the W6QM Micc-ft Benning under the Department of the Army, where he plays a pivotal role in executing procurement actions that sustain military installation readiness. He manages a diverse portfolio of contracts supporting facility operations, logistical infrastructure, and mission-enabling services critical to Army training and garrison functions. His acquisitions span facilities support, environmental services, and specialized technical services, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and alignment with the agency’s strategic priorities in installation resilience and human capital development. Coaxum cultivates collaborative relationships with a broad spectrum of vendors, including small businesses and firms specializing in installation support services. While no single contractor dominates his portfolio, he consistently engages with service providers offering facility maintenance, waste management, and photographic documentation services. His contracting approach emphasizes transparency, competitive bidding, and vendor accountability, fostering a procurement environment that values performance, compliance, and long-term operational reliability. He demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, allocating 50% of his acquisitions to open competition and evenly distributing the remaining 50% between Total Small Business Set-Asides and Women-Owned Small Business (WOSB) set-asides under FAR 19.5. This balanced approach reflects a deliberate strategy to expand opportunities for underserved entrepreneurs while maintaining robust competition. His contracting patterns prioritize inclusion without compromising mission needs, consistently leveraging WOSB and small business capabilities to deliver high-quality services. Coaxum’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 561210 (Facilities Support Services), where he secures maintenance, janitorial, and groundskeeping support, alongside NAICS 541921 (Portrait Photography) for official military documentation and NAICS 237310 (Highway and Bridge Construction) for infrastructure upkeep. He also procures solid waste collection (562111) and specialized media services (511130), reflecting a multidisciplinary approach to sustaining mission-critical environments. His technical expertise spans facility lifecycle management, environmental compliance, and service delivery oversight within a highly regulated military context.
