Nennie Y. Gargard

Nennie Y. Gargard serves as a Senior Contracting Specialist (SSG) within the W6QM Micc-ft Drum, a critical procurement unit under the Department of the Army’s W911S2 organization. In this role, she leads the acquisition of specialized infrastructure, athletic equipment, and fabricated metal products essential to soldier readiness and operational sustainment. Her responsibilities include managing full lifecycle contracting actions for high-priority projects that support force projection, training facilities, and field logistics. Gargard specializes in complex construction and industrial supply acquisitions, ensuring compliance with federal procurement regulations while aligning purchases with the Army’s modernization and readiness goals. Gargard maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors including VPB LLC, LEGACY MANAGEMENT SOLUTIONS LLC, AMD INTERNATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES LLC, LARC INDUSTRIES INC, and MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for vendors with proven expertise in commercial building construction, roofing systems, and custom metal fabrication. Her contracting approach emphasizes reliability, technical precision, and performance-based deliverables, fostering long-term vendor collaboration grounded in quality assurance and timely execution. Her procurement portfolio demonstrates a balanced commitment to socioeconomic programs, with equal distribution across HUBZone, Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB), and no set-aside categories. This pattern underscores a deliberate strategy to promote equitable access for small businesses while maintaining flexibility to meet mission-critical timelines. Gargard actively leverages set-asides to strengthen regional economic development and veteran workforce integration within defense supply chains. The majority of her acquisitions fall under NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), 238160 (Roofing Contractors), and 332999 (All Other Miscellaneous Fabricated Metal Product Manufacturing). These categories reflect her technical expertise in procuring durable, field-deployable infrastructure components—from modular training facilities to custom-fabricated hardware—designed to withstand austere environments and support sustained military operations.
