Marquiesha R. Gillispie

Marquiesha R. Gillispie serves as a Contract Officer for the W6QM Micc-ft Bliss under the Department of the Army, where she manages the acquisition of critical infrastructure and facility support services essential to sustaining operational readiness at Fort Bliss. Her portfolio centers on construction, roofing, utilities, and waste management contracts that ensure safe, resilient, and mission-ready military installations. Gillispie applies full and open competition principles while strategically leveraging small business set-asides to enhance vendor diversity and local economic impact. She executes procurements in accordance with FAR and DFARS guidelines, ensuring compliance, risk mitigation, and timely delivery of services critical to garrison operations. Gillispie maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors including FEDERAL ROOFING AND CONSTRUCTION COMPANY LLC, ALL AMERICAN AA LLC, C. ORTIZ, CORP, GLOBE BUILDERS, INC., and PIONEER ROOFING AND CONSTRUCTION LLC. These partnerships reflect a focus on experienced, performance-based vendors with proven track records in commercial and military facility maintenance. Her contracting approach emphasizes quality assurance, lifecycle cost analysis, and contract administration rigor, fostering long-term vendor collaboration grounded in accountability and compliance. While the majority of her acquisitions proceed under full and open competition, Gillispie actively supports small business participation through Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, consistently allocating approximately 25% of her portfolio to qualified small businesses. Her socioeconomic contracting patterns prioritize equitable access without compromising mission requirements, aligning with Army-wide goals to expand opportunities for small and emerging contractors. Her primary NAICS focus includes 532111 (Passenger Car Rental), 323117 (Books Printing), and 813110 (Religious Organizations), which appear to reflect administrative or ancillary support functions within the broader facility sustainment mission. Despite the apparent misalignment of these codes with core infrastructure work, her expertise lies in managing complex, multi-disciplinary contracts that integrate logistics, maintenance, and service delivery across diverse operational environments.
