Myriam Perez serves as a Contracting Officer for the W7PA Uspfo Activity Pr Arng under the Department of the Army, where she plays a pivotal role in securing mission-enabling services that sustain Army National Guard readiness. She manages a diverse portfolio of acquisitions focused on logistical support, facility operations, and personnel services critical to training and deployment readiness. Her work ensures the availability of secure, functional infrastructure and essential support systems across training domains, aligning with the agency’s strategic imperative to maintain operational sustainability. Perez routinely handles complex service contracts under FAR Part 12 and Part 37, emphasizing performance-based acquisition methods to drive outcomes over inputs. Perez maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors including CH2M HILL - HDR JV and RAGLAN LLC, both of which provide integrated facility management, food services, and operational support solutions. Her procurement approach reflects a preference for long-term, performance-based partnerships that ensure continuity of mission-critical services. She collaborates closely with these vendors to align deliverables with Army National Guard standards, often employing indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) and multiple-award task order contracts to meet dynamic operational demands. Perez demonstrates an overwhelming commitment to small business participation, with 94.5% of her acquisitions set aside for total small businesses under FAR 19.5. She consistently prioritizes socioeconomic programs, with small percentages allocated to women-owned and service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses, reflecting a deliberate effort to broaden vendor diversity while maintaining rigorous performance standards. Her contracting patterns reveal a strong alignment with federal small business goals, ensuring equitable access to opportunities for qualified small entities. Her primary procurement focus centers on NAICS 722310 (Food Service Contractors), which accounts for over half of her portfolio, followed by NAICS 721110 (Hotels and Motels) and 311999 (Miscellaneous Food Manufacturing). These reflect her expertise in managing large-scale dining, lodging, and ancillary food production services tailored to remote and high-tempo training environments. She also oversees niche contracts in environmental consulting and technical training, demonstrating a broad but mission-driven technical domain expertise in support of force readiness.
