Mark Cooley

Mark Cooley serves as a key procurement lead within the W6QM Micc-ft Carson, a specialized unit of the Department of the Army tasked with sustaining the operational readiness of elite special operations forces, particularly the 10th Special Forces Group (A). He manages the acquisition of mission-critical support services and equipment tailored for austere, cold-weather, and high-altitude environments, focusing on industrial fan and blower systems, air purification equipment, and the maintenance of specialized commercial and industrial machinery. His acquisitions directly enable training and deployment readiness in extreme conditions, ensuring that special operations units have reliable, mission-essential infrastructure and environmental control systems. Cooley maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of niche contractors, including Tronconi Segarra & Associates LLP, Aleut Field Services, LLC, Vision Distributors LLC, Anyone Not Ready LLC, and Rod’s Alaskan Big Game & Wilderness Guide Services LLC. These partnerships reflect a deliberate preference for vendors with domain-specific expertise in Arctic and mountainous operations, rugged equipment maintenance, and expeditionary logistics. His contracting approach emphasizes functional specialization over scale, favoring contractors with proven field experience in extreme-environment support rather than broad commercial providers. All of Cooley’s acquisitions are structured as full small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating an unwavering commitment to socioeconomic contracting goals. He consistently awards contracts to small businesses, including those owned by veterans, Alaska Natives, and other underserved groups, ensuring that mission-critical capabilities are developed through a resilient, community-based vendor ecosystem. His primary NAICS focus areas—333413 for industrial fan and blower manufacturing and 811310 for commercial and industrial machinery repair and maintenance—reflect deep technical expertise in environmental control systems and field-deployable equipment sustainment. Cooley’s portfolio centers on ruggedized air handling, filtration, and maintenance solutions engineered for reliability in hostile climates, underscoring his specialization in expeditionary logistics and operational environmental support.
