Paula K. Sales

Paula K. Sales serves as a key procurement lead within the W7N1 USPFO Activity Tnang 134, a Department of the Army unit responsible for sustaining and modernizing mission-critical military infrastructure. She manages acquisitions for secure facility construction, physical security systems, and integrated communications equipment essential to force readiness and garrison operations. Her portfolio centers on complex, technical procurements requiring strict compliance with defense standards, including IT hardware, electronic systems, and facility support services. Sales ensures alignment with Army modernization priorities by structuring contracts that enhance operational resilience and cybersecurity posture across deployed environments. She maintains consistent working relationships with P & W Construction Company, LLC, and McKenzie Construction & Site Development LLC, both of which deliver specialized construction, site development, and infrastructure upgrades tailored to military requirements. These partnerships reflect a preference for contractors with proven experience in secure facility construction and compliance with DoD environmental and safety regulations. Sales fosters long-term vendor engagement through transparent solicitation processes and performance-based contract management, ensuring accountability and mission continuity. Her procurement strategy is heavily oriented toward small business participation, with 83.3% of contracts set aside for small businesses under FAR 19.5, and an additional 8.3% awarded through 8(a) competed programs. This reflects a deliberate commitment to socioeconomic contracting goals, prioritizing small, disadvantaged, and veteran-owned firms that bring innovation and agility to defense infrastructure projects. Her pattern of set-asides underscores a strategic effort to build a resilient small business base within the defense industrial base. Sales focuses primarily on NAICS codes related to electronic manufacturing and facility services, including 335312 (Motor and Generator Manufacturing), 334111 (Electronic Computer Manufacturing), and 334112 (Computer Storage Device Manufacturing), indicating a strong technical emphasis on secure computing and power systems. She also procures 334290 (Communications Equipment) and 561720 (Janitorial Services), demonstrating a balanced approach that integrates high-tech hardware with essential garrison support functions to maintain operational readiness.
