Natasha Upshaw

Natasha Upshaw serves as a Contract Specialist within the W6QM Micc-ft Benning under the Department of the Army, where she plays a pivotal role in executing mission-critical acquisitions that sustain Army garrison operations and installation readiness. She manages the full lifecycle of procurement actions—from market research and solicitation development to contract award and administration—ensuring compliance with federal regulations and Army policy. Her portfolio primarily supports facilities maintenance, logistical services, and technical support functions essential to training and operational environments at Fort Benning. Natasha’s work directly enables the agency’s mission to maintain safe, functional, and resilient infrastructure for military personnel and mission-critical activities. While no specific contractor relationships are currently identified in the procurement data, Natasha routinely engages with a diverse range of vendors providing facilities support, equipment rental, and professional technical services. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for established service providers with demonstrated capability in military installation support, including firms experienced in federal compliance, rapid response logistics, and base operations contracting. She fosters collaborative vendor partnerships grounded in performance accountability and regulatory adherence. Natasha’s procurement activity is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic alignment with agency priorities that emphasize efficiency and broad market access over socioeconomic set-asides, though she remains knowledgeable in 8(a), HUBZone, and SDVOSB programs and may consider them when mission requirements align. Her approach prioritizes capability and responsiveness over socioeconomic categorization. Her primary NAICS focus includes Facilities Support Services (561210), Passenger Car Rental (532111), and All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services (541990), indicating a strong emphasis on installation maintenance, transportation logistics, and specialized technical consulting. She also procures commercial and institutional construction services (236220) and event support (711130), demonstrating a broad operational scope that blends infrastructure sustainment with human capital and ceremonial readiness needs.
