Paula K. Sales

Paula K. Sales serves as a key procurement lead within the W7N1 Uspfo Activity Tnang 134, a Department of the Army organization responsible for sustaining and modernizing mission-critical military infrastructure. She manages acquisitions supporting the construction, upgrade, and secure integration of garrison facilities, physical security systems, and communications infrastructure essential to force readiness. Her portfolio primarily includes construction, secure communications equipment, and related support services, ensuring compliance with DoD standards for resilience and operational security. She plays a central role in executing contracting strategies aligned with the agency’s mission to enhance infrastructure integrity and protect personnel and assets. Sales maintains strong, recurring relationships with P & W Construction Company, LLC, and McKenzie Construction & Site Development LLC, both of which are frequently awarded for commercial and institutional building construction, site development, and infrastructure modernization tasks. These partnerships reflect a preference for experienced, locally engaged contractors with proven track records in delivering secure, mission-aligned facilities. Her contracting approach emphasizes reliability, technical compliance, and performance-based outcomes, fostering long-term vendor collaboration grounded in consistent delivery and adherence to federal construction and security standards. A pronounced commitment to small business participation defines her procurement strategy, with 78.6% of awards structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate focus on expanding economic opportunity among small, disadvantaged, and community-based contractors, aligning with DoD’s socioeconomic goals. She consistently prioritizes small business eligibility and compliance, ensuring robust participation across multiple contract actions without reliance on large prime contractors. Her technical procurement focus centers on NAICS 334310 (audio and video equipment manufacturing) and 334220 (radio and television broadcasting and wireless communications equipment manufacturing), indicating deep engagement with secure communications hardware, surveillance systems, and integrated command-and-control technologies. She also oversees construction-related procurements under NAICS 236220, demonstrating expertise in both physical infrastructure and the embedded electronic systems that enable modern military operations.
