Linda F. McLean

Linda F. McLean serves as a Contracting Officer for the W6QM Micc Fdo Ft Bragg under the Department of the Army, responsible for managing mission-critical acquisitions that sustain Fort Bragg’s garrison infrastructure and operational readiness. She oversees the full lifecycle of contracts for base support services, including site preparation, engineering design, and digital content development, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and alignment with Army garrison modernization priorities. Her portfolio directly supports the daily functionality of military installations by securing essential services that maintain housing, utilities, and logistical environments for active-duty personnel and support staff. McLean maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors including SILVER NATIONAL CORP., A TO B CREATIONS INC, and TACTICAL ELECTRONICS AND MILITARY SUPPLY L.L.C., who deliver specialized infrastructure, signage, and tactical support solutions. Her procurement approach emphasizes reliable vendor performance and technical proficiency, fostering long-term partnerships with firms capable of meeting the unique demands of military installation operations. She prioritizes vendors with proven experience in DoD environments and a track record of on-time, compliant delivery under complex regulatory frameworks. Her contracting strategy reflects a deliberate balance between open competition and small business participation, with 40% of her awards structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic programs, consistently enabling small businesses to compete for base support contracts while maintaining operational flexibility through non-set-aside acquisitions when required. Her approach aligns with Army-wide goals to expand small business engagement without compromising mission readiness. McLean’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 238910 (Site Preparation Contractors), which constitutes 60% of her activity, reflecting her expertise in groundworks, grading, and utility installation for military facilities. She also regularly procures engineering services under NAICS 541330 and digital content solutions under NAICS 511210, demonstrating technical fluency across construction support and information services domains critical to garrison sustainability.
