Mark Fitzgerald

Mark Fitzgerald serves as a Contract Specialist at the W39L USA Readiness Center under the Department of the Army, where he manages the acquisition of professional services critical to sustaining military readiness. His responsibilities include planning, soliciting, negotiating, and administering contracts for administrative management consulting, technical support, and specialized professional services that enhance training, logistics, and infrastructure sustainment. Fitzgerald plays a pivotal role in aligning procurement activities with the agency’s strategic priorities, ensuring timely delivery of expert services that modernize command and control systems and optimize operational readiness capabilities. His primary contractor relationship is with KPH Construction Corp, with whom he frequently collaborates on complex, performance-based service contracts requiring technical oversight and compliance with federal acquisition regulations. Fitzgerald fosters long-term vendor partnerships grounded in accountability, transparent communication, and consistent performance evaluation, often re-engaging contractors with proven track records in delivering mission-critical support under tight timelines. Fitzgerald’s procurement portfolio reflects a strong preference for full and open competition, with 100% of his awards issued without set-aside designations. While he does not currently prioritize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, his process remains fully compliant with socioeconomic requirements, and he actively evaluates small business capabilities during market research to ensure competitive fairness. His acquisitions are heavily concentrated in NAICS 541611 (Administrative Management and General Management Consulting Services) and 541990 (All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services), reflecting a focus on strategic planning, operational analysis, engineering support, and facility sustainment consulting. He routinely procures services related to readiness assessments, training system integration, and technical advisory support, demonstrating deep expertise in the domain of military infrastructure and readiness optimization.
