Natasha McKellum

Natasha McKellum serves as a key procurement lead within the W6QM Micc-ft Bliss under the Department of the Army, overseeing the acquisition of critical installation support services essential to Fort Bliss’s operational readiness. She manages a focused portfolio of construction and facility maintenance contracts, primarily centered on plumbing, heating, and air-conditioning systems that sustain mission-critical infrastructure. Her work ensures compliance with federal contracting standards while aligning acquisitions with the agency’s strategic imperative to maintain resilient, safe, and functional military environments. McKellum’s acquisitions are exclusively awarded under full small business set-asides, reflecting a deliberate and consistent commitment to socioeconomic contracting goals. She maintains long-standing, high-volume working relationships with a select group of specialized contractors, including FEDERAL ROOFING AND CONSTRUCTION COMPANY LLC, ALL AMERICAN AA LLC, C. ORTIZ, CORP, GLOBE BUILDERS, INC., and PIONEER ROOFING AND CONSTRUCTION LLC. These firms are recognized for their expertise in commercial and military-grade HVAC, plumbing, and integrated facility systems. McKellum’s contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, technical compliance, and contractor reliability, fostering a collaborative yet rigorously regulated vendor ecosystem built on proven track records in military installation support. McKellum exclusively utilizes Total Small Business Set-Aside authorities under FAR 19.5, ensuring that 100% of her acquisitions are reserved for small businesses. This unwavering focus promotes equitable access to federal opportunities and strengthens the local and national small business base serving defense infrastructure. Her contracting patterns reflect a strategic alignment with the Department of the Army’s small business goals, prioritizing firms with demonstrated capability in facility services rather than broad-spectrum contractors. Her technical domain is narrowly concentrated in NAICS 238220—Plumbing, Heating, and Air-Conditioning Contractors—where she procures comprehensive HVAC system installation, maintenance, and retrofit services. She specializes in complex mechanical systems integration for barracks, command centers, and utility plants, requiring deep familiarity with military construction codes, energy efficiency standards, and lifecycle maintenance protocols.
