Relanda Young

Relanda Young serves as a secondary procurement support specialist within the W6QM Micc-ft Campbell, a key component of the Department of the Army responsible for sustaining garrison infrastructure at Fort Campbell and similar installations. In this role, Young supports the acquisition lifecycle for critical operational and habitability services, including environmental compliance, facility maintenance, and utility system sustainment. While not the lead contracting officer, Young plays a vital role in market research, solicitation preparation, and contract administration, ensuring alignment with Army readiness objectives and regulatory compliance under FAR and DFARS. Their work directly enables the agency’s mission to maintain safe, functional, and resilient living and working environments for military personnel. Young collaborates with a diverse network of small business contractors, particularly those certified under socioeconomic programs, fostering partnerships that prioritize local and mission-aligned vendors. Though no primary contractors are identified, the procurement patterns reflect a strong emphasis on small business engagement, with consistent coordination across 8(a), WOSB, and SDVOSB firms. Working relationships are characterized by proactive outreach, pre-solicitation engagement, and collaborative evaluation processes designed to enhance competition and vendor readiness. A pronounced commitment to small business participation is evident, with over 54% of acquisitions set aside for total small businesses, complemented by targeted 8(a), Women-Owned Small Business, and Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business set-asides. This reflects a deliberate strategy to broaden vendor diversity and strengthen community-based economic resilience in support of military installations. Young’s procurement focus centers on NAICS categories including 541620 (Environmental Consulting Services) and 811310 (Commercial and Industrial Machinery Repair), with additional emphasis on plumbing, heating, and air-conditioning systems (238220) and solid waste collection (562111). This technical specialization underscores expertise in sustaining garrison infrastructure through environmentally compliant, maintenance-intensive, and mission-critical services.
