Mary Hudson

Mary Hudson serves as a key procurement lead within the W6QM Micc-ft Carson, a specialized unit of the Department of the Army supporting the operational readiness of elite special operations forces, particularly the 10th Special Forces Group (A). She manages acquisitions critical to sustaining austere, cold-weather, and high-altitude training environments, focusing on logistical, instructional, and infrastructure support services. Her portfolio includes complex contracts for specialized equipment, field services, and mission-critical utilities, ensuring that special operations units maintain tactical superiority in extreme conditions. She operates under the broader mission of enabling force projection through tailored, responsive contracting in remote and challenging terrains. Hudson maintains consistent partnerships with a select group of niche contractors, including TRONCONI SEGARRA & ASSOCIATES LLP, ALEUT FIELD SERVICES, LLC, and ROD’S ALASKAN BIG GAME & WILDERNESS GUIDE SERVICES LLC, reflecting a preference for vendors with proven expertise in expeditionary operations and Arctic-environment logistics. Her contracting patterns emphasize deep domain knowledge over scale, often awarding to small, regionally rooted firms with specialized capabilities in wilderness survival training, cold-weather equipment maintenance, and field-based support. These relationships are built on long-term operational trust and mission alignment rather than broad commercial capacity. Her procurement strategy prioritizes small business participation, with 60% of awards designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5 and an additional 20% allocated to 8(a) competed contracts. This reflects a deliberate commitment to socioeconomic diversity and capability development among disadvantaged small businesses with relevant field experience. She rarely utilizes no-set-aside mechanisms, demonstrating a strong institutional emphasis on fostering small business growth within high-stakes defense environments. Her primary NAICS focus lies in Solid Waste Collection (562111) and Septic Tank Services (562991), underscoring the need for sustainable, off-grid environmental management in forward operating locations. She also procures Industrial Gas Manufacturing (325120) and Construction Machinery Manufacturing (333120) services to support field infrastructure and life-sustaining systems, demonstrating technical expertise in mission-enabling utilities for isolated, high-altitude deployments.
