Latasha Chatman

Latasha Chatman serves as a Contract Specialist at W6QM MICC-FDO Fort Eustis, under the Department of the Army, where she plays a pivotal role in executing mission-critical acquisitions that support operational readiness, training, and sustainment for Army forces. Her portfolio encompasses professional, technical, and educational services essential to mission command, cyber resilience, and high-fidelity soldier training environments. She manages the full lifecycle of contract actions—from market research and solicitation to award and administration—ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and alignment with the agency’s strategic priorities in defense readiness and force modernization. Chatman maintains a primary contracting relationship with Booz Allen Hamilton Inc., a key provider of advanced analytical and systems integration services, while also engaging a broader base of specialized vendors. Her procurement patterns reflect a preference for established defense contractors with proven capabilities in mission support, alongside a deliberate effort to broaden vendor diversity through targeted small business outreach. She fosters collaborative, performance-driven partnerships that emphasize technical excellence and mission alignment. A strong advocate for socioeconomic inclusion, Chatman consistently prioritizes small business set-asides, with 60% of her acquisitions designated as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, and 20% reserved specifically for Women-Owned Small Businesses. Her contracting approach actively promotes equitable access to federal opportunities, reflecting a robust commitment to expanding participation by small, disadvantaged, and women-owned firms across the defense acquisition landscape. Her primary industry focus lies in NAICS 812332 (Industrial Launderers), supporting facility sustainment and soldier readiness through uniform and textile services, complemented by significant procurement in 561210 (Facilities Support Services), 541330 (Engineering Services), and 511210 (Software Publishers). This blend underscores her expertise in acquiring both logistical and high-tech solutions critical to modern Army operations, bridging traditional sustainment needs with cutting-edge digital capabilities.
