Michael Furtney

Michael Furtney serves as a Contract Specialist within the W7MY Uspfo Activity Co Arng under the Department of the Army, where he plays a pivotal role in executing mission-critical acquisitions to sustain Army National Guard and reserve component readiness. He manages the full lifecycle of contracts for logistical and quality-of-life services—including accommodations, meal support, and facility infrastructure—ensuring seamless operational continuity during training, mobilization, and ceremonial events. His procurement portfolio is strategically aligned with the agency’s mission to maintain force readiness through reliable, timely, and compliant contracting practices, with a focus on service-based acquisitions under FAR Part 12 and Part 13 procedures. Furtney maintains a consistent working relationship with CRE8AD8 LLC, a primary contractor delivering specialized logistical and operational support services. His contracting patterns reflect a preference for established vendor partnerships that demonstrate proven capacity in delivering mission-critical accommodations and facility services under dynamic field conditions. He engages contractors through competitive sealed bidding and simplified acquisition procedures, prioritizing performance reliability and compliance with federal standards for government-furnished property and service delivery. Furtney exhibits a strong commitment to small business participation, with 43.5% of his acquisitions structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, reflecting a deliberate effort to expand economic opportunity among small business concerns. While no single socioeconomic category dominates, his portfolio consistently supports small business eligibility under standard set-aside authorities, aligning with Department of the Army directives to enhance small business access to federal contracts. His primary procurement focus centers on NAICS 721110 (hotels and motels) for lodging services and NAICS 541850 (indoor and outdoor display advertising) for mission communications and event signage. He also routinely procures training and instructional services under NAICS 611699 and 611519, demonstrating expertise in supporting non-traditional military education and readiness enhancement programs. His technical domain spans facility operations, transient lodging, and event support services critical to Army National Guard sustainment.
