Mary A. Hesser

Mary A. Hesser serves as a Purchasing Agent for the W6QM Micc-ft Sill under the Department of the Army, responsible for executing mission-enabling acquisitions that sustain operational readiness at Fort Sill, Oklahoma. She manages a diverse portfolio of contracts supporting logistical infrastructure, facilities maintenance, and personnel services critical to military training and on-post quality of life. Her procurement activities span both commercial and specialized goods and services, with a focus on ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and timely delivery of mission-critical resources. Hesser works closely with program managers and logistics teams to align contracting strategies with institutional priorities, ensuring seamless integration of contracted capabilities into daily operations. Hesser maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors, including CDSI, INC., WASTE SOLUTIONS LLC, MDM MAC ENTERPRISES INC, TRI-CITY INDUSTRIAL, LLC, and FOREIGN POLICY RESEARCH INSTITUTE INC. These partnerships reflect a blend of industrial, environmental, and professional services vendors, indicating a procurement approach that values reliability, technical specificity, and regional responsiveness. Her contracting patterns suggest a preference for established vendors with proven performance in military environments, often leveraging long-term vendor relationships to ensure continuity and compliance in high-stakes operational settings. Her procurement activity is predominantly classified as “No Set-Aside” at 83.3%, reflecting a focus on open competition for efficiency and scalability. However, she consistently allocates 16.7% of awards to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a deliberate commitment to small business participation without prioritizing specific socioeconomic categories such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB. This balanced approach supports broad market access while maintaining operational flexibility. Hesser’s primary procurement focus centers on NAICS 561621 (Security Systems Services), followed by 316210 (Footwear Manufacturing), 335312 (Motor and Generator Manufacturing), 511210 (Software Publishers), and 541430 (Graphic Design Services). This mix reveals expertise in procuring both physical infrastructure components and specialized support services, including security systems, military-grade footwear, electromechanical equipment, digital content development, and technical documentation—reflecting a multidisciplinary acquisition profile aligned with Fort Sill’s operational and administrative needs.
