Roshawnna Welford-George

Roshawnna Welford-George supports the W7N2 USPFO Activity TX ARNG in executing critical procurement functions aligned with the Texas Army National Guard’s operational readiness mission. She manages a diverse portfolio of non-combat, sustainment-focused acquisitions that ensure the welfare and logistical support of Guard personnel, including medical and dental services, catering for training and deployment events, and infrastructure-related supplies. Her work directly enables force readiness by securing essential civilian support services that complement military operations, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and mission-critical timelines. She maintains consistent contracting relationships with a select group of small business vendors, including PIKA INTERNATIONAL, INC., TESFAYE LLC, BONUS ENVIRONMENTAL LLC, and THE SUNRISE TORTILLA INC., reflecting a preference for specialized, locally rooted providers capable of delivering tailored solutions in food services, medical supply distribution, and environmental support. Her procurement approach emphasizes reliability, responsiveness, and alignment with the unique needs of National Guard units operating in varied operational environments. Welford-George demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with approximately 86.7% of her awards designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, and 13.3% specifically reserved for women-owned small businesses. This pattern underscores a deliberate strategy to maximize small business participation and foster economic resilience within Texas communities, prioritizing vendors that meet defined socioeconomic criteria while maintaining high standards of performance and compliance. Her primary procurement focus centers on NAICS 722320 (Caterers), accounting for nearly half of her portfolio, followed by NAICS 423450 (Medical, Dental, and Hospital Equipment and Supplies Merchant Wholesalers). She also regularly acquires miscellaneous manufacturing and printing services to support administrative and training operations. This specialization reveals deep expertise in sustaining non-combat readiness through food service, health support, and logistical infrastructure, positioning her as a key enabler of the Texas Army National Guard’s day-to-day operational continuity.
