Nennie Y. Gargard

Nennie Gargard serves as a key procurement professional within the 0410 AQ HQ Contracting Supply unit of the Department of the Army, supporting the logistical sustainment of expeditionary and garrisoned military operations. Responsible for managing non-combat service acquisitions, Gargard ensures the timely procurement of essential quality-of-life and operational support services critical to force readiness. Their portfolio primarily encompasses facility support, sanitation, lodging, food services, and related infrastructure enablers, aligning directly with the agency’s mission to sustain personnel through resilient, scalable logistics solutions. Gargard routinely executes solicitations under FAR Part 13 and Part 15 procedures, balancing efficiency with compliance across a high-volume, low-dollar acquisition environment. Contractor relationships are characterized by broad engagement with commercial service providers, particularly those offering facility maintenance, waste management, and institutional laundry and janitorial services. While no single contractor dominates the award landscape, Gargard consistently works with a diverse base of vendors capable of delivering standardized, nationwide support under indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) and task order contracts. Partnerships emphasize reliability, scalability, and compliance with military installation standards, with a preference for vendors possessing proven experience in DoD facility operations and environmental health protocols. Set-aside preferences reveal a strong orientation toward open competition, with 97.4% of awards issued without socioeconomic set-asides. The remaining 2.6% reflect targeted engagement with HUBZone-certified firms, indicating a measured but intentional commitment to geographic economic development. While 8(a), SDVOSB, and WOSB set-asides are infrequently utilized, Gargard maintains compliance with all applicable small business regulations and prioritizes fair opportunity for all qualified vendors under full and open competition. Gargard’s procurement focus centers on NAICS codes 561720 (Janitorial Services), 812320 (Drycleaning and Laundry Services), 562111 (Solid Waste Collection), and 532490 (Commercial Equipment Leasing), with additional emphasis on 312112 (Bottled Water Manufacturing). This specialization reflects deep expertise in institutional support services essential to sustained military operations, requiring rigorous adherence to health, safety, and environmental standards across diverse operational environments.
