S. Paulouskaya

Salameya Paulouskaya serves as a Contracting Officer for the W6QM MICC-FDO at Fort Sam Houston, supporting the U.S. Army’s mission to sustain installation readiness through mission-critical procurement of base services and infrastructure solutions. In this role, she manages the full lifecycle of acquisitions—including solicitation, evaluation, award, and contract administration—for facilities support, dining services, training support, and related operational enablers. Her portfolio ensures continuous, compliant, and efficient delivery of essential services that directly sustain troop readiness and garrison operations across Army installations. She works within the Federal Acquisition Regulation framework to align procurements with strategic Army priorities in modernization and sustainment. Paulouskaya maintains consistent working relationships with VETPRIDE SERVICES, INC., a key contractor delivering integrated facility and support services. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for established vendors with proven performance in garrison operations, while actively engaging with small business partners to ensure competitive, responsive sourcing. She fosters collaborative vendor relationships grounded in performance accountability and compliance, often re-engaging contractors with strong past performance records to maintain operational continuity. Her set-aside preferences demonstrate a balanced approach to socioeconomic contracting: while 63.5% of awards are unrestricted, she consistently prioritizes small business participation, with 22.2% allocated to total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5 and 7.9% to 8(a) competed contracts. An additional 6.3% of awards support service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses, reflecting a deliberate commitment to expanding opportunities for veteran- and minority-owned enterprises within the Army’s support services ecosystem. Paulouskaya’s primary procurement focus centers on NAICS 511210 (Software Publishers), indicating a strong emphasis on digital platforms and IT-enabled operational support systems. She also regularly procures janitorial services (561720), food service contractors (722310), educational support services (611710), and lodging solutions (721110), demonstrating broad expertise in facility sustainment and quality-of-life services critical to military readiness. Her domain knowledge spans both technical IT systems and essential base operations, enabling her to effectively manage complex, multi-faceted contracts in support of Army garrison missions.
