Mary Chamberlin

Mary A. Chamberlin serves as a Contract Specialist with the W6QM Micc-fdo Ft Hood under the Department of the Army, where she manages the acquisition lifecycle for mission-critical garrison support services essential to Fort Hood’s operational readiness. Her responsibilities include soliciting, evaluating, and awarding contracts for facilities maintenance, security systems, janitorial services, and IT support, ensuring compliance with FAR and DFARS regulations. Chamberlin plays a pivotal role in translating installation requirements into executable procurement strategies that sustain infrastructure resilience and mission continuity across barracks, utilities, and communications systems. She maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors including DTESS JV LLC, TLC SOLUTIONS, INC., GERLING & ASSOCIATES, INC., STERLING COMPUTERS CORPORATION, and GOVERNMENT ACQUISITIONS INC., primarily engaging them for facilities support, janitorial services, and security systems integration. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for established vendors with proven performance on garrison contracts, often leveraging long-term service agreements and task order vehicles to ensure continuity and quality control across high-volume, low-complexity requirements. Chamberlin demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with HUBZone set-asides accounting for over 40% of her awards and 8(a) competed contracts representing nearly 10%. While nearly half of her acquisitions are unrestricted, she actively prioritizes small business participation through targeted set-asides under FAR 19.5, consistently aligning with DoD goals to expand opportunities for disadvantaged and community-based firms. Her procurement focus centers on NAICS 561720 (Janitorial Services) and 561210 (Facilities Support Services), which together account for over two-thirds of her portfolio, supplemented by security systems services and custom computer programming for garrison IT needs. She specializes in procuring non-medical, installation-level services that sustain daily operations, demonstrating deep familiarity with the technical and logistical demands of large-scale military garrison environments.
