Marissa K. Warner

Marissa K. Warner serves as a Contract Specialist within the 0414 AQ HQ Contracting Supply unit under the Department of the Army, supporting the logistical and administrative needs of U.S. Army personnel and their families stationed across Europe and Africa. She manages the full lifecycle of non-combat acquisitions, ensuring timely delivery of essential garrison and expeditionary services that sustain operational readiness and quality of life. Her portfolio encompasses a diverse range of commercial and industrial services critical to base operations, including facility support, transportation infrastructure, and environmental services, all aligned with the agency’s mission to maintain resilient overseas installations. Warner cultivates collaborative relationships with a broad spectrum of vendors, including small businesses, general contractors, and specialized service providers. While no single contractor dominates her award portfolio, she consistently engages firms capable of delivering scalable, mission-critical solutions under firm-fixed-price and time-and-materials contract structures. Her procurement approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, clear statement of work development, and rigorous contract administration to ensure compliance and mission alignment. She maintains a balanced yet deliberate commitment to socioeconomic programs, with approximately half of her acquisitions set aside for small businesses under FAR 19.5, reflecting a strong emphasis on broad-based small business participation. Although no specific set-aside categories like 8(a) or HUBZone are predominant, her contracting patterns demonstrate a consistent preference for competitive small business opportunities, fostering economic inclusion across diverse vendor communities. Her primary procurement focus centers on NAICS 532490 (commercial equipment leasing), 721110 (lodging services), 238210 (electrical contracting), 332999 (miscellaneous fabricated metal products), and 562111 (solid waste collection). This reflects deep expertise in sustaining infrastructure, housing, utilities, and environmental services in remote and austere environments, requiring nuanced understanding of commercial market dynamics and federal acquisition regulations.
