Marilee E. Drennan

Marilee E. Drennan serves as a key procurement professional within the W6QM Micc-ft Leavenworth, a U.S. Army installation support organization under the Department of the Army. She manages a diverse portfolio of contracts critical to sustaining garrison readiness, focusing on facility maintenance, infrastructure modernization, and mission-critical operational services. Her work ensures compliance with Army environmental, safety, and engineering standards while supporting the lifecycle management of military installations. Drennan typically handles service-based acquisitions under the Federal Acquisition Regulation, including construction, mechanical systems, and technical support contracts that directly enable base functionality and long-term resilience. She maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors including PRAIRIE BAND CONSTRUCTION, INC., PREMIER MECHANICAL PRODUCTS LLC, SES TECHNOLOGIES LLC, AMERICAN BOILER SERVICES INC, and ACI BUILD GROUP LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for established vendors with proven expertise in facility systems, mechanical maintenance, and construction services. Drennan’s contracting approach emphasizes reliability, technical competency, and performance history, fostering long-term vendor collaboration to meet the Army’s operational tempo and infrastructure demands. While the majority of her acquisitions—77.8%—are conducted without set-asides, she consistently supports small business participation through Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, accounting for 22.2% of her portfolio. This reflects a deliberate, though not dominant, commitment to socioeconomic contracting, aligning with Army-wide goals to broaden vendor diversity without compromising mission-critical delivery timelines or technical standards. Her procurement focus is concentrated in NAICS categories that, while seemingly unconventional for a military installation, reflect ancillary support needs: 813110 (Religious Organizations) for chapel maintenance and religious support services, 721110 (Hotels and Motels) for transient lodging on base, and 811210 (Electronic and Precision Equipment Repair) for critical instrumentation and facility control systems. These reflect a nuanced understanding of the full spectrum of services required to sustain a complex, multi-mission Army installation.
