Rhoda C. Harrison-Spence

Rhoda C. Harrison-Spence serves as Supervisor Contract Specialist at W6QM MICC-FDO Fort Eustis, under the Department of the Army, where she oversees the acquisition of professional, technical, and educational services critical to mission command, training, and sustainment operations. In this leadership role, she manages the full lifecycle of contract actions—from requirements validation and solicitation development to award and performance monitoring—ensuring alignment with Army readiness objectives. Her portfolio centers on high-fidelity training environments, cyber and logistics modernization, and command systems support, requiring deep expertise in FAR compliance, risk mitigation, and performance-based contracting. Her primary contractor relationships are anchored by Booz Allen Hamilton Inc., a trusted partner in delivering advanced analytical and systems integration services. While Booz Allen dominates her award landscape, she maintains a disciplined approach to vendor diversification, engaging a narrow but strategic pool of qualified vendors capable of supporting complex, mission-critical requirements. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for established defense contractors with proven experience in military training systems and enterprise IT solutions, fostering long-term, performance-driven partnerships. Harrison-Spence demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with nearly equal portions of her acquisitions set aside for Total Small Business (44.4%) and non-set-aside competitions (44.4%), alongside a targeted 11.1% allocation for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses. This balanced approach ensures competitive rigor while actively advancing veteran-owned business participation, consistent with Army-wide small business goals under FAR Part 19. Her procurement focus is concentrated in NAICS 611430 (Professional and Management Development Training), reflecting her central role in acquiring soldier and leader development programs. She also routinely procures Engineering Services (541330), Computer Facilities Management (541513), Language Training (611630), and specialized Ship Building and Repairing (336611), underscoring her technical versatility across domains essential to Army modernization and operational readiness.
