Krista M. Dubose

Krista DuBose serves as the primary contracting representative for W6QM MICC-FDO Ft Hood, a key installation support unit under the Department of the Army. In this role, she manages the acquisition lifecycle for critical garrison infrastructure and operational sustainment services, ensuring Fort Hood’s facilities—from barracks and utilities to communications systems—remain mission-ready. Her portfolio emphasizes facility modernization, life-cycle maintenance, and technical support contracts that directly enable military readiness. She routinely handles complex procurements under FAR Part 13 and Part 15, balancing speed, compliance, and mission urgency across a diverse range of technical and service-based requirements. DuBose maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors including DTESS JV LLC, TLC SOLUTIONS, INC., GERLING & ASSOCIATES, INC., STERLING COMPUTERS CORPORATION, and GOVERNMENT ACQUISITIONS INC. These vendors provide specialized services in facility operations, IT systems integration, training delivery, and equipment maintenance. Her procurement patterns reflect a preference for established, vetted partners with proven installation experience, often leveraging indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) and basic ordering agreements to streamline response times for urgent garrison needs. Her contracting approach prioritizes broad market access, with approximately two-thirds of awards issued under open competition and one-third designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. While no specific socioeconomic categories like 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB are dominant, her consistent use of small business set-asides demonstrates a deliberate commitment to expanding opportunities for qualified small businesses in installation support markets. Her primary NAICS focus includes 312113 (Ice Manufacturing), reflecting unique logistical needs for cold chain support in field operations; 611430 (Professional and Management Development Training), indicating a strong emphasis on workforce readiness; 334519 (Other Measuring and Controlling Device Manufacturing), tied to instrumentation for facility monitoring; and 336110 (Automobile and Light Duty Motor Vehicle Manufacturing), underscoring vehicle fleet sustainment. These categories reveal a specialized, mission-driven procurement profile centered on installation resilience and operational continuity.
