Marquis Naylor

Marquis Naylor serves as a key procurement professional within the 0410 AQ HQ Contract Office of the Department of the Army, supporting the sustainment of mission-critical force readiness through the acquisition of essential logistical and support services. He manages a diverse portfolio of contracts focused on hospitality, security, translation, and facility support systems that enable operational continuity across both garrison and deployed environments. His work ensures that Army installations and forward-deployed units receive reliable administrative, transportation, and welfare services aligned with DoD readiness standards, making him a pivotal link between operational requirements and contractor execution. Naylor collaborates with a broad spectrum of vendors, including large integrators and specialized small businesses, to deliver services ranging from physical security systems to language support and catering. While no single contractor dominates his portfolio, his contracting patterns reflect a preference for agile, mission-tailored partnerships that prioritize responsiveness, compliance, and scalability across heterogeneous operational theaters. He routinely engages firms with proven experience in DoD compliance frameworks, including those certified under ISO 9001 and NIST SP 800-171, ensuring service delivery meets stringent security and quality benchmarks. His procurement strategy prioritizes socioeconomic inclusion, with 20% of awards designated for Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a deliberate commitment to expanding opportunities for small businesses across multiple categories. Though the majority of acquisitions remain open to all competitors, Naylor actively structures solicitations to encourage small business participation, particularly in niche service areas where specialized capabilities are critical. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 561621 for security systems services, 541930 for translation and interpretation, 722320 for catering, and 115310 for forestry support activities. This reflects deep expertise in mission-enabling services that sustain troop welfare and infrastructure resilience, with particular emphasis on culturally competent communication, physical security integration, and environmental stewardship in support of Army operations.
