Marie-Dominique Courtois

Marie-Dominique Courtois serves as a Contracting Officer within the Department of the Army’s 0409 AQ HQ Contract office, responsible for managing complex facility and infrastructure support acquisitions critical to U.S. Army garrison readiness across Europe and other deployed theaters. Her portfolio encompasses maintenance, specialized construction, and technical services for airfields, utilities, and mission-critical buildings, ensuring operational continuity in austere environments. She executes full-cycle procurement activities under FAR and DFARS guidelines, with a focus on performance-based contracting and lifecycle sustainment solutions that align with Army installation resilience objectives. Her primary contractor relationships include PAE Applied Technologies LLC, a leading provider of integrated facility services for military installations, and BSH Hausgeräte B.V., a global manufacturer of commercial-grade appliances utilized in military housing and support facilities. Courtois maintains long-term, performance-driven partnerships with these vendors, emphasizing reliability, compliance, and rapid response capabilities in high-tempo operational settings. These relationships reflect a preference for established contractors with proven expertise in military logistics and overseas infrastructure support. Courtois’s procurement activity is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic alignment with mission-critical timelines and the specialized nature of the services required, where qualified vendors are limited and technical specifications demand high levels of certification and operational experience. While small business participation is not formally prioritized in her portfolio, all procurements adhere strictly to competitive fairness and transparency standards. Her primary NAICS focus is 813110 (Religious Organizations), which, in this context, relates to the management of chapel facilities and morale, welfare, and recreation infrastructure on overseas bases. Secondary areas include office administrative services, HVAC equipment manufacturing, and moving services—all essential to sustaining garrison life and operational infrastructure. Her expertise lies in procuring mission-enabling services that blend technical precision with cultural and logistical adaptability in multinational environments.
