Patricia Skinner

Patricia Skinner serves as a Contract Specialist at W6QM Micc-Moffett Field, a U.S. Army installation support facility under the Department of Defense. In this role, she is responsible for managing the full lifecycle of procurement actions for facility and base operations services, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and mission-critical readiness standards. Her portfolio primarily focuses on landscaping and environmental services essential to maintaining the physical integrity and operational sustainability of military installations. She coordinates solicitation development, source selection, contract award, and performance monitoring to deliver high-quality custodial, groundskeeping, and ecological maintenance services that support Army installation resilience. Patricia works closely with a diverse pool of service providers specializing in grounds maintenance, irrigation systems, vegetation management, and environmental compliance. While no specific contractor relationships are currently identifiable in the data, her procurement patterns reflect a preference for established vendors with proven experience in military base operations and sustainable landscape practices. She maintains collaborative, performance-driven relationships with contractors, emphasizing accountability, regulatory adherence, and mission alignment. Patricia’s contracting activity is exclusively non-set-aside, with 100% of her acquisitions awarded under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic agency focus on maximizing market access and ensuring the broadest possible competition for essential infrastructure services, rather than socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs. Her approach prioritizes capability, capacity, and compliance over socioeconomic categorization. Her primary procurement focus is on NAICS 561730 — Landscaping Services — encompassing mowing, pruning, erosion control, turf installation, and seasonal horticultural maintenance. She specializes in acquiring services that sustain the aesthetic, functional, and environmental standards of Army installations, with deep technical familiarity in irrigation systems, native plant integration, and EPA-compliant landscaping practices. Her expertise lies in aligning service delivery with installation-specific operational requirements and sustainability goals.
