SSG Michael J Hughey

Michael Hughey serves as a procurement professional within the Xr W4QS US Army Contracting Agency, supporting the Department of the Army’s mission to sustain garrison and field-based operational readiness through mission-critical service acquisitions. He manages a diverse portfolio of contracts focused on infrastructure support, utilities, and facility maintenance services essential to troop readiness. His work ensures that deployed and home-station units receive reliable environmental, logistical, and operational support, with a strong emphasis on compliance with federal acquisition regulations and timely execution of time-sensitive requirements. Hughey collaborates with a broad base of vendors, primarily small businesses and general service contractors specializing in utility maintenance, waste management, and facility support. While no single contractor dominates his award portfolio, he maintains consistent working relationships with firms capable of delivering rapid-response, geographically dispersed services under performance-based contract structures. His procurement approach prioritizes flexibility, scalability, and compliance with service-level agreements to meet dynamic operational demands across multiple military installations. His contracting patterns reflect a balanced commitment to socioeconomic goals, with approximately half of his acquisitions set aside for small businesses under FAR 19.5, and the other half awarded as full and open competitions. This dual approach ensures both competitive market engagement and meaningful opportunities for small business participation, aligning with DoD’s broader goals for inclusive contracting and workforce development. Hughey’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 562991 (Septic Tank and Related Services), reflecting his specialization in environmental and sanitation infrastructure for remote and austere locations. He also manages NAICS 532111 (Passenger Car Rental) contracts to support mobility requirements for personnel and logistics teams. His technical expertise centers on service-based acquisitions that enable sustainment operations, with deep familiarity in performance metrics, maintenance standards, and environmental compliance frameworks critical to Army installation resilience.
