Ponce Cureton

Ponce Cureton serves as a key procurement professional within the W6QM Micc-ft Jackson, a critical support element of the Department of the Army under W9124C, responsible for managing facility sustainment and operational readiness contracts. Their role centers on executing acquisition strategies for mission-critical infrastructure services, ensuring military installations maintain secure, functional, and compliant environments. Cureton routinely handles service-based acquisitions under FAR Part 12 and Part 13 procedures, focusing on low-to-mid complexity contracts that require rapid execution and high reliability. Their work directly supports the agency’s mission to sustain garrison operations through timely procurement of essential maintenance and security services. Cureton maintains consistent relationships with a focused group of contractors, most notably the South Carolina Commission for the Blind and Guardian South Termite and Pest Control, LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for specialized, niche vendors capable of delivering high-quality, localized services with strict adherence to federal compliance standards. The working relationship pattern emphasizes long-term performance, quality assurance, and responsiveness—key attributes for sustaining day-to-day operations on active military installations. Vendor engagement is characterized by repeat awarding based on proven track records and service reliability rather than broad competition. Cureton demonstrates a steadfast commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with 100% of their acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to maximize opportunities for small businesses, particularly those owned by veterans, individuals with disabilities, or economically disadvantaged communities. No other set-aside categories are utilized, underscoring a singular focus on empowering small business participation across all contract actions. Their procurement portfolio is dominated by NAICS 561621 (Security Systems Services) at 66.7%, encompassing access control, surveillance, and perimeter security systems, alongside NAICS 561730 (Landscaping Services) at 33.3%, which includes grounds maintenance, erosion control, and pest management. This technical focus reveals deep expertise in facility sustainment services critical to military readiness, with an emphasis on integrated, mission-supporting environmental and security solutions.
