Mark Bussell

Mark Bussell serves as a key procurement professional within the W6QM Micc-ft Campbell office under the Department of the Army, responsible for managing acquisitions critical to sustaining garrison infrastructure at Fort Campbell and similar installations. His work centers on securing fabricated pipe and pipe fitting systems essential to water, sewage, and utility distribution networks that support habitability and operational readiness. He oversees the full lifecycle of contract actions—from market research and solicitation to award and performance monitoring—ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and mission-driven standards for military installations. While specific contractor names are not publicly enumerated, Bussell maintains a consistent pattern of engagement with small businesses certified under the Small Business Administration’s programs, particularly those specializing in fabricated metal products and plumbing infrastructure. His contracting approach emphasizes long-term vendor partnerships grounded in technical reliability and regulatory compliance, fostering relationships with firms capable of delivering custom-engineered piping systems under stringent military specifications. Bussell’s procurement portfolio is entirely set-aside for small businesses under FAR 19.5, reflecting a firm commitment to socioeconomic objectives and equitable opportunity. He consistently prioritizes small business participation, aligning with Department of the Army mandates to maximize contracting with small, disadvantaged, and service-disabled veteran-owned firms. This approach ensures that local and niche manufacturers contribute meaningfully to national defense infrastructure while meeting rigorous quality and delivery standards. His primary technical focus is on NAICS 332996—Fabricated Pipe and Pipe Fitting Manufacturing—where he procures custom-engineered steel, copper, and polymeric piping systems designed for high-pressure, corrosion-resistant, and military-grade environments. He possesses deep expertise in material specifications, ASTM and MIL-STD compliance, and installation requirements for field-deployable and permanent garrison utility systems, ensuring that all acquisitions directly support the Army’s mission of sustaining safe, functional, and resilient living and operational environments.
